Not sure what you mean here steve. He's 3-bet me, and all I said was that his range for 3-betting there can be pretty wide. Readless I can't narrow his range down too far.
I think I got ahead of my self here. The three bet range is wide trying to protect his blind
No, but people do all sorts of unreasonable things in poker
He could be getting really aggressive with AQs or maybe even JJ. Again, readless I really don't know what type of range would do that, but even if we did get that far we might have to look him up since we'd probably be getting pretty good odds at that point.
without reads is it not better to give him credit for the cards and lose a smaller pot here than to get it all in the middle and lose to the bullets? People do unreasonable things yes, but without reads or something else to make us believe he is a maniac, that play only makes sense with AA's or KK's, to me anyway.
Well not exactly. AK and other high card hands might be involved here which means that we're frequently coinflipping or 70/30'ing as well. We also don't want to call and see a Kxx flop and have him bet us off our hand if he's got TT for example.
as the bets are going up to a 4-5 bet his range is narrowing pretty quickly (to me) again without a read. Maybe this is a pissing contest for him with over cards but I would be more mad about getting it all in the middle and him stacking me off with the bullets than if he has overs and I shut it down early. I can adjust to my game by be pushed off a winner here than losing it all.
