Default Re: Overplayed Blind Defense?

That falls under the lovely "it depends" category, though in this case it might be a bit more straight forward depending on the type of LAG he is. He can't 3-bet here with overs hoping for a free river because of the K, so a 3-bet either means a draw, K, or AA (unless the guy is maniacal which could be a possibility based on his stats). The only draws are straights with the 7/5, so that seems unlikely.

The truth is I think we're ahead here a far majority of the time. A LAG with a PFR of 25% in a 4-handed game has a huge range of hands from the CO, with only a small minority being a Kx or AA. Due to this range, I'd be more inclined to call down a 3-bet to showdown, vs. a more standard player I could fold to a river bet.

I don't know why you would want to call this down to showdown if the villian 3 bets on the flop. The only thing we can beat is A high or worse. I didn't think this guy was a total maniac so I'm pretty sure if he 3 bet it would be with a hand better than mine. Given that, if 3 bet here I was planning to call and check/fold the turn UI. I'd take this line unless I had a read that my opponent was a total maniac, or seriously on tilt.

By the way, villian shows AQ and takes the pot. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
