Fair point. But I actually think it is even more imperative to re-raise in this case since you will have a wider hand. Against a tight re-raiser I will 3-bet often because they have a tight range and it is strong and they aren't likely to fold it (even though they should at times). But it is okay to call to trap because you have a decent sense of their range. But against a looser raiser, I think you MUST 3-bet because otherwise when the flop comes 567 you could easily lose your stack to a trickily re-raised 55. Whereas against the tight re-raiser you know you are ahead.

I don't 3-bet often, and I think it would sort of suck in this situation. My hand is super well concealed, if flop comes all unders I am taking his stack, I like that. I really don't think I can find a hand in my databse where I 3-bet against anyone but a total donk, or if I've been playing uber maniac. People just aren't that willing to burn money post flop.

Maybe you didn't see my two hands at the same time on different tables? If you're not 3-betting AA/KK preflop you are losing money. People will burn PLENTY of money postflop ANYWAYS.

I suggested check fold and got crucified. Might want to read the whole thread before you line up for the next round.
