Everything looks good, except WHY call preflop and not raise?!

Re: If this isnt standard
 

I wouldn't do this against someone that I didn't know would bet the trun so I could raise.

I'm guessing to conceal the strength of your hand. If you 3 bet you're not going to get as much action postflop.

Players have a lot less respect for a 3-bet when it's blind on blind

i'd rather do things like 3bet JTs here.

Re: If this isnt standard
 

You are missing too much value by trying to get too fancy here.

Re: If this isnt standard
 

I'd rather 3-bet JTs AND AA here. You should have no problem getting postflop action with AA here.

So to the OP, this isn't close to standard. The standard is to 3-bet.

Re: If this isnt standard
 

Look at this guys stats.

1st - his PFR:
If he's raising, theres a greater chance that he's on a steal than that he's got a legitimate hand.

2nd - his agression factor:
Since he's likely on a steal, if I show a large amount of strength he will revert to his normal-callstation self.


Plus:
In many cases these guys will follow up the flop bet with a turn bet. This becomes less likely when I 3bet preflop.
This play lets me raise the turn to get an extra SB out of the hand.

Until its proven that the guy goes absolutely berserk in the blinds, its better to assume that he doesnt.
