Hello all,
Something I've been having trouble with at 10nl is facing a 3-bet OOP with medium pocket pairs. For example, opening 88 in MP and facing a 3-bet from CO/BTN. I don't like flatting and x/f to any c-bet, because it seems like a losing play in the long-run.
If villain has a high 3-bet stat or low fold to 4-bet, I'll probably come over the top. Is 4b/fold the best option in these positions? Example is below.
PokerStars - $0.10 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4
BTN: 100 BB (VPIP: 22.45, PFR: 14.29, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, hands: 52)
SB: 99.2 BB (VPIP: 14.29, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 7)
BB: 100 BB (VPIP: 26.51, PFR: 21.69, 3Bet Preflop: 9.52, Hands: 92)
UTG: 198 BB (VPIP: 28.57, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 7)
MP: 185.1 BB (VPIP: 14.29, PFR: 14.29, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 7)
Hero (CO): 121.7 BB
SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB
Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 8:diamond: 8:spade:
fold, fold, Hero raises to 3 BB, BTN raises to 9 BB, fold, fold, fold
BTN wins 7.5 BB
Any thoughts?
