Silver Level
If you are fairly deep in micro/low stakes tournaments (35 BB+) or microstakes cash games, and you face this kind of situations.
Full Ring.
Action folded to CO/BU. CO/BU raises 2.5-3.5 BB (depending on wheter it is cash games or STT SnG/MTT).
CO/BU has VPIP of 25-30%. PFR at about of 20-22%. Fairly aggressive, and probably opens up his range to VPIP 40-45%, PFR to 28-40% on the CO/BU. Probably most of the times he opens at this position, he is trying to steal. With hands like suited connectors, high cards like J8+, Q8+, K6+, Ax, small PP, it's an easy raise for him. He folds to 3-bets something like 50-60%.
What is the optimal range to 3-bet him? How often should we just flat call and play the flop out of position (is it really profitable to flat the BB at all)? How often is the best just to shut down at the flop, instead of continuing? What should be an optimal 3-betting ratio from the BB? And, for the sake of analysing the villain, how often it is a +EV play to 4-bet from the CU/BU?
