Ok, I've run into the problem of not being sure when to 3bet, when to fold, and when to call. I read "Crushing the Microstakes" and it advocates very little calling, but also says he avoids 3 betting with things like AQ, TT, or JJ. It is really hard for me to fold these IP or from the blinds. But I would fold them all to a 4 bet, unless I'm up against a guy with crazy stats. So I guess what I'm asking is...How much should I tighten my range against a PFR? Should I be folding upper-mid Pocket Pairs here? (With IP, OOP, high PFR%, and normal PFR% as considerations.)
Here is an example. I felt this guy was forcing me off a lot of my BTN hands that I'd normally play, and he had a high-ish PFR (26%) so I 3bet light. He called, checked the flop, and then raised my cbet. I probably should've just folded preflop, but now that I'm here should I just check? His fold to cbet was 0/2.
