Default Re: typical situation where I\'m still an idiot

You really need to know what he typically 3-bets with here. A lot of players auto 3-bet Aces in this spot, but the truly tough players has a wide range. Against overagressive donks I like calling to the river. Against thinking tough players I prefer 3-betting; they'll lay down a bluff or underpair to a 3-bet most of the time, so if 4-bet you can fold and if called you chek the turn and sometimes call the river- checked to you can valuebet the river. You should vary this by calling the flop c/r and then raise either turn or river a fraction of the time (about 10% I would say).

It is never going to be a high EV situation, but you shouldn't lay down hands like this to often when it's shorthanded.
