I had to look up the Harrington’s zone strategy. I was not familiar with it.
“Orange Zone: M of 6-10
You have now lost the ability to make more advanced moves. For example, you can't come over the top against a raise and a re-raise because, even if you make an all-in raise, your bet will not be big enough to discourage a call from even the weakest of hands.”
This is the position you face. You’re too strong to open-fold. I don’t hate a call. Yes, it will cost you 9 BBs and leave you with 16 BBs. A few things to consider:
What is the table type? Is there a lot of 3-betting?
What do you believe his range is? My estimate would be JJ+, KQs+, AKs (maybe 76s and 87s if he’s a Doug Polk fan). If this is accurate, then maybe fold. If he’s wider, then maybe call and re-evaluate. If he’s way wider then shove.
If you had opened to 2.25x or 2.5x, then his 3-bet might have been sized to 6.5-7.5 BBs. Would 2.5x open generated to many calls? What did you expect your 3x open to accomplish? Were you expecting folds? If you opened 5x, would you be willing to fold to a 3-bet?
From your replay, I see that you shoved and were called. How did it turn out?
