Re: 3-bet J10s against good player?
[ QUOTE ]
Yet, earlier I mentioned that I was talking about an opponent who didn't inevitably go to SD (which is kind of one think I assumed was implied when we talked about TAGs).

You can do all the analysis you want but it will not make the gap principle go away. 3-betting a hand that is at the absolute bottom of Villain's range is mathematically unsound.
It all comes down to this: if Villain folds so much that you can profitably ignore the gap principle, then Villain is not a good player in this situation. We call them "good players" because they don't give away their money.
You need to start an argument for isolating with JTs by identifying an edge you hope to exploit. For example:
1. Villain openraises 50% of his hands. Now we have reasonable hand strength.
2. Villain is weak and incapable of continuing past the turn when he fails to pair up.
3. Villain is a world champion but he believes we only 3-bet with AA-QQ.
Or whatever. But you must start with something.
