Default Re: 3-bet J10s against good player?

[ QUOTE ]
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.

This is 100% correct. if we want to close the gap we got to start with something more then "I got position". A good player is the last 1 we should 3bet.

That said, I prefer JTs over A8o or KTo in this spot, because of domination. But maybe I am overestimating JTs, its hard to estimate how much we lose when we flop 2nd pair or get outdrawn on turn or river.
