I though this was a interesting hand because it come up alot. The opponent is just a normal opponent.

VPIP: 20; PFR: 15;

Now what are the pros and cons between calling and 3Betting?
What do you prefer/do?

1) Look at villain's steal %.
2) Call and plan to raise & float tons of flops. 65s always flops some sort of equity, but rarely makes showdown value.

3-betting usually ends the hand, and is probably just a bit +EV. I prefer calling a lot pre BvB.

Cool. I usually call aswell. But I think, as you said, 3Betting is +EV.
And its not super easy getting value when you hit your draw. He will rarely have anything. So as you said we will probebly be needed to float 60-70% of the time

I don't think it's really important one way or the other as long as he (SB)knows if he tries to steal your blind he is going to have to fight hard for it. In position we should be making his life such a misery he gives up playing anything but his value hands.If it was early on in the session id happily 3 bet any playable hand as you have the initiative in position. that's never bad.
