Was thinking of a general strategy when facing a 3-bet.
Usually a 3-bet means villain has AA, KK, QQ, AK, JJ and sometimes 10s. Obviously chances of the first two may be lower as my hand blocks them.
Assume each player has 100BB.
If I raise first to say 3BB and face a 3-bet of 9BB I can call and hope to hit the flop.
If villain opens pot with 3BB and I 3-bet to 9BB and then villain 4-bets to 27BB, I should fold as it implies villain has AA or KK. Pot odds before the flop seem good but they arent so good if you can really put your opponent on these two hands.
I know texture and villain's stats (e.g. VP, PF) play a large part but as a general rule is the above strategy a decent starting one?
