Re: 3-bet J10s against good player?
[ QUOTE ]
if you're going to make this 3-bet it is a variation play and should be treated as such.

Definitely. I probably didn't emphasize this particular "edge" in enough in setting up the hypothetical, but it really was meant to be implied.
Like I said at the outset, my "default play" against this opponent is mucking, not 3-betting (though I can imagine some tables where calling could work). But I was imagining a situation where I had set up the play by playing relatively tight and, more important, not 3-betting this particular opponent previously.
I should also admit, though, the fact that I did not mention this particular condition at the outset is probably proof of some lazy thinking. In fact, the entire situation seems representative of a certain poker stage I'm at.
I feel like I'm beginning to get to the point of intuitively sensing some edges, but not yet to the point of understanding them thoroughly enough to articulate them.
