at the back of a table

co posts a bb.
button, who seems semi taggish but not many hands on him 3bets.
2/3 blind structure
You have a9o in the sb. BB probably wont fold for 1 bet.

what do you do?

Suppose you somehow see the flop, and its JJ5 2spades, you have no spades. Now what.

I dont think the 2/3 makes up for this. Im folding. Granted any decent poster should raise anythng here, and so a good button will be 3 betting a lot lighter, but I still dont get wet about A9o here.

i think i need AJ to get involved.

some1 delete my post b4 every1 laughs at me!

seriously, why couldnt OP just say CO raises instead of sneakily implying it?
ok, now i need AQo/AJs (and id make it four to try and get HU)

does KQs or KQo do as well? What about 99 - do you cap?

[/ QUOTE ]i would cap KQs and 88 most likely, fold KQo/KJs/77... id never flat call because you really want to give the CO a chance to fold.
of course timing tells, recent history and other stuff are factors...
generally, i find folding KQs before the flop in SHLHE game to be very difficult... haha.

this was the source of my earlier confusion in this thread.

I mispoke there. At first I was thinking about a raise-3bet and then I suppose something along the lines of there only being a button raise.

Confusion is my fault not yours, either way both posts of yours are valid in their respective cirumstances
