UTG folds, MP raises to $0.75, CO calls $0.75, Hero raises to $3, 3 folds, CO raises to $6.05, Hero??

Information on opponent is limited, but i wasn't sure whats the best option. Since we have some room to maneuver postflop we can call this? Or its better to avoid such spots with lack of information on opponent?

I thought your losing preflop. I guess his hand is either JJ or QQ. You have decent pot odds but very bad card odds. I fold here.

It depends on what your image is through villains eyes. If you have been 3beting and squeezing alot his range could be fairly wide.
In a vacuum i like your squeeze here, I sigh fold. I wouldn't worry much about this hand. Getting back raised doesn't happen often enough to really effect your bb/100

Keep in mind that if you squeeze deep, you're going to get called and 4-bet but wider ranges.

That aside, w/o info I'd generally recommend folding. You have good room post flop w/ 260+ bbs effective stacks, but you don't have any information on what kind of player you're against and whether you can profitably turn your hand into a bluff if need be. I don't think it would be horrible to call w/o this info, but you should be really confident in your post flop ability in order to do so.

Thanks for replying.

I was considering those factors which you mentioned above.

Also since my info is limited on him it means that he has no info on me either. In my opinion he shouldn't be very strong here. The problem is that he might play AK, maybe AQ like that. But anyway, i wasnt aiming on flopping an ace.

this deep 3 betting is so bad with this type of hand, he can 4 bet us plenty and we have awesome implied odds with a good hand IP when we flat

Yes, he won't have info either, but he'll have initiative. You need more info than he does in that situation to make good post flop decisions. I'd rather be the one 4-betting with no info, then the one calling w/ no info.

Flat. All day long, flat. You don't want to open the door for him to shove by raising. You've got great odds to call and see the flop. You would just have to fold to any raise. And even if he just called you've set yourself up to get all in by the turn and unless you flop the world you are taking too great a chance of losing all your money on a marginal hand. That's my 2 pennies worth.
