Re: Is this standard?
he definitely would fold a pair here, but the question is does he have a smaller pair? would he check-call that instead? 55, 88, 99 won't fold. 66/77 won't fold but probably check-call anyway. 44-22 would bet to make you fold a bigger pair but not that many TAGs 3-bet those hands from the SB. KK-TT might bet-fold, but wouldn't they check-call just in case? that makes it look like he has an A to me. of course you gain vs KQ and KJ too. I don't see a predictable TAG 3-betting much else. the draw makes it better than just a pure bluff since a predictable TAG probably isn't finding a 3-bet with anything less than 2 pair, so you get to draw to that 4 outer pretty often.
I don't like it though. I think he check-calls his pairs too often and has AK-AJ, AA, 99-55 too often compared to the times he bet KK-TT on the turn
