give this guy a hand

[PokerBob]

canterbury 15/30 9 handed
button here is a regular at canterbury. i think he is a pro; a semi-pro at the very least. He cold-calls many raises preflop. i have not been in the game very long, so i don't have a read on the initial raiser.

some dude opens in MP, I fold in the hijack, CO makes it 3-bets (this guy is an idiot. he tries all kinds of fancy plays postflop. seems to get a kick out of getting people to fold better hands, but he is clearly a losing player. he also likes to do retarded aggressive stuff preflop, but i have never seen him 3-bet pf with pure trash) button cold-calls 3bets. what can button have here that his cold-call of 3 bets makes sense?

The requirements for the position of "poker pro" do not state that you must be a good player.

ugh.. this post sucks. had to say it.

[NLSoldier]

77-99.

[B Dids]

77-TT, suited aces AT and higher, AKo and maybe AQo?

The description doesn't give you a lot to work with, but assuming he's not an idiot, he doesn't trust the CO and is good enough to make his position work for him, that seems like a reasonable range.

[PokerBob]

....what YOU would cold call 3 bets with on the button in this spot. what say you?

[MitchL]

Nothing. I would even 4-bet w/AKo in this particular situation, but would fold all pairs below TT.

[anatta]

Your guy probably has the usual hands that guys cold call a single raise with, a decent ace or medium pair. He knows the original raise range is fairly wide as is the three-bet. But his hand isn't good enough in his mind to cap.

I am not a big fan of pussyfooting around, take control, why let blinds in at all, maybe fold out orignal raiser (long shot). Assuming a cap is four bets, I would cap any hand that I intend to play here. My range would be 88, AJs. I guess 66 and KQs is fine too if you are, you know, one of those lucky players.

[bone77]

55. not saying it definitely makes sense, just a guess.

AQs, JJ, 10-10

[andyfox]

Only A-A. Only occasionally.

Sounds like it might be Herb??? If its herb he prolly has ak aa or kk most of the time. If its a regular donkey, I think 99-10's or a suited connector above 89 makes more sense.

FWIW in these types of situations there some hands I might call three cold with, such as AQ+, 88+, or even AJs or QJs type hand if the raiser and 3 better are bad/aggro enough. Then again I've been told I play PF like a Norwegian, which usually isn't meant to be complimentary.

If you thought these guys were full of [censored] enough ie bad player who is aggro in lp, lets use scott drill or arthur for an example, and bk/cmo/me/kirby 3 bets him wouldnt you 4 bet with the above hands? except qjs i guess. I dont see the advantages to calling 3 cold.
