10/20: Extremly Standard Hand, but I'm not sure how to play it

[aflaba]

Opponent is 40/20, AF between 2 and 3.
Is this a calldown?

I don't think this is generally a profitable calldown. But still I don't like to allow them to make me a target and tun me over.

How do you feel about using a bit of "game theoresk" thinking. How about if in similar situations I almost always call down with something like AK-AT to not make myself an easy target. I mean, I would still fold the big majority of my 3-betting hands.

Just some thoughts.

What do you think?

Folding doesn't mean he'll run you over. Many people aren't paying attention anyway and even if they are, he doesn't know that you had anything at all. People will raise very liberally out of the BB and after auto-betting the flop, some people almost always call a raise. He doesn't know you folded AK.

I think the fold is fine because the flop is almost completely drawless. For your hand to be best, he has to be completely bluffing (or value betting ace high, but he probably raises preflop with any ace), and even though that is a possiblity, I don't think he is doing that often enough to call down.

Against this opponent, I would call down. This guy is a pretty big LAG with those numbers.
