Why? What do you put opponent on? It seems like he could easily have 78, 99, 69, K9. If he is bluffing you, he will fold to a 3-bet. It is best to let him bluff again on the river.

This is somewhat tough w/o reads.

But the only plausible hands on the turn we're behind are 66, 55, 99,

Obviously behind K9 (if he sucks)

Hands we're ahead of and are likely: KQ, KJ, K10, K-rag

We also beat poorly played underpairs.

I 3bet this turn w/o reads. I think we're up against top pair often enough here.

Why isn't 78s plausable? And K9s as well.

KQ probably would have raise preflo. KJ might have, making it less likely. The others are definetly possible.

Underpairs will fold to a 3-bet. If we just call however, we will get them to bet the river quite often.

The only hands I think we should 3-bet against are the Kx hands, yet there are far more other hands our opponent could have.

I 3-bet the turn and call down future bets.

I don't think many players open limp 78 or K9.

KQ should raise PF, but often doesn't at this game. I think KJ is very likely here.

Yeah, I actually agree on this...not sure why i put it in there.

Can someone please explain the reasoning here? The times we are behind, our decision to 3-bet usually costs us 2 extra BB. When we are ahead, our decision to 3-bet often gainst us 1 BB (against a Kx), but also sometimes loses us 1 BB (if we are against an underpair who will bluff the river). When we are behind, we usually have 0 or 2 outs (sometimes 8 if we are against K9), and when we are ahead, our opponent has 5 outs.

It seems everyone wants to 3-bet, but I still don't quite get it.

Re: Aces checkraised twice? 2/4
 

Yes, could someone please elaborate on why 3betting the turn is more optimal here against an unknown?
