Commerce 40 SB decision
 

Folded to HJ who openraises. Probably plays 25-30% of his hands in that spot. He is predictable postflop, and can fold. CO folds, button folds, I see AQs and go to 3-bet, except the BB has called the raise out of turn. BB is loose passive.

No one was aware that I meant to 3bet. Follow through or just call?

Re: Commerce 40 SB decision
 

3-Bet as you normally would have.

Your read of HJ
+ the read of BB
= I have the best hand right now.

Re: Commerce 40 SB decision
 

this is a very easy 3-bet, and i would love the BB to come along

3-bet it.

I'm surprised to see you say that, after reading what you wrote to Diplomat about playing ATo on the button.

I like the 3-bet as well, but then again your hand would be a bit tougher to play OOP against two cold callers provided you miss.

I still go for the 3-bet myself..

If his call is binding (meanin he must make it no matter what you do), I would just call. otherwise, I would 3 bet every time - your hand will do much better heads up than 3 way, and few players are so insensitive to the action that they'd call 2 bets nearly as easily as one from the BB.
