Re: Preflop confusion
I could b ewrong, I think if the fish doesn't get out of line too often, wouldn't the presence of the fish help in that the third player in the pot keeps the TAG from exploiting his positional advantage?
The presence of the third player should make the TAG play more straightforwardly and therefore make it easier to determine when you are and aren't good with a middle pair like 99.
Now assuming having the third player is a good thing considering position and the likelihood of overcards coming out on the board, I'm torn between 3betting and just calling. Does the equity you gain when the fish cold calls your 3bet outweigh the presumed lost value when the fish folds to your 3bet and you go heads up with the TAG OOP (and in bad shape if he caps)?
