Default Re: I fail to raise AKo from the BB

Our opponent thinks in individual deceisions, we don't, so therefore we're not really forcing him into a much bigger mistake by 3 betting this pf. I'm not saying to never 3 bet this pf b/c he's not making a mistake. I'm simply saying that in this situation it might be advantageous for us to not exploit a small egde pf and instead focus on exploiting a larger one postflop.

The other advantage of calling here is that we can manipulate the size of the pot better and we have more options postflop when the flop hits or misses us. We know the pot will be big this hand and I think that by not 3 betting here, we may be able to maximize our chances of taking the pot down in the long run or even making more money on our hand postflop.
