BB defense

[Trix]

SB openraises 5-handed, I call A7o
Flop 882r, He bets, I raise, he 3bets, I call?, Turn Q, he bets and I fold.

First blind defense against opponent and/or no reads? Is he aggro? I would merely call this down and see what he is up to.

[Trix]

I didnt have a read, he was probably new to the table.

hi trix, i 3-bet this pf a lot of the times.

on the flop you can consider just calling and then raising any turn and either value betting the river or taking a free showdown depending on your mood.

if this guy is very LAG aggressive, there's no shame in calling down with A high on a relatively safe board. (though i know you don't have a read on this guy yet, just for future reference)

I 3bet preflop usually. I would usually bet the flop and if I was CR fold the turn unimproved as I usually call down to see a medium pocket pair when CR'd on flops like this. Speaking from my experience at 5/10. Maybe I should just take the free card on flops like this, not sure really....

Just calling preflop and then calling down postflop seems ok on an unknown.

He's going to 3-bet an extraordinarily high percentage of the time that you raise this particular flop.
