$200 NL HE 6-max: Recurring spot: PP flops second pair
This always makes me go "eh, now what do I do?" which in turn makes me play with the idea of 3-betting preflop more often with middle pairs to avoid the tough decisions. Thing is, I don't know if that's (more) profitable than just calling, because I know that I show a profit just calling.
Perhaps 3-betting pre vs. villains who don't 4-bet often (because I really don't want to get 4-bet off the best hand and I don't want to miss a chance to flop a set vs. aggressive opponents.
How should I be thinking about this hand vs a reg? This particular hand was actually vs. a 71/8, but let's pretend he's a decent reg instead.
