Default Re: I open 72o UTG get 3bet by tiltboy and call down my bottom pair.

unfortunately its not a joke....doh...that can't say too much good about me.

so I do have some fairly specific thoughts on how this guy plays--mostly cause he is on major tilt and i've seen him do a lot of silly stuff over the course of the session so far.

however the rest of the table is primarily unknowns. they are primarily pretty tight so if one of them 3-bets me its a pretty easy flop check-fold.

Preflop:
--------

when I raised here I really did not want this guy involved.
Given his recent performance I'd guess I have about a 20% chance he will 3-bet me after i raise UTG.

once he 3-bet i was like man this didnt work out too well--what a waste of 3SB. Then the SB called two and I was liking my situation even less.

Feel free to give input on the preflop--its not something I do a lot of. But I def have done it more than once. Maybe once every 3-400 hands or so. Is this a no-no at anything but the tightest tables? Am I strictly aiming to steal the blinds? If it is to impact shania at all then occassionally there must be some postflop play and a showdown at least sometimes, right?

I have heard someone say do it only with your absolute trash, and mentally decide before the hand to play it like its the nuts. That seems like a recipe for spewage and it hasnt worked out to well for me the couple times I've tried it.

I've also heard that its better to pick something like K2s that has some potential showdown value to play this way.

Thoughts?
