$10-$20 live game, pocket Kings in the BB and your opponent is ... ME
(credit to, I believe, Clarkmeister for doing some posts like this for which I am now about to blatantly rip off in format.)
You're playing in your usual live $10-$20 game and here comes ... Barron Vangor Toth. You recognize his name from 2+2 and you have read his articles on this site, over at Gutshot, and his daily "news" posts on Daniel's Negreanu's STACKED site. You start chit-chatting with him and blah blah blah. He is in the cut-off and open-raises. It's folded to you in the big blind and you look down to find: K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Oh, my! It's someone who writes for the 2+2 magazine and who has been beating live games for higher stakes than this as of late. You should probably fold... but you decide not to, as he open-raised in late position and he looks rather tired as he just got back from some convention. You instead three bet. He calls you. Pot: $65 (3.25 BB) The flop comes 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] You bet and he instantly raises.

I tend to not overthink things even against good aggressive opposition, and I don't mess around often OOP. So I 3-bet.

I instantly reraise with a grim look on my face.

I would 3 bet the flop and lead the turn. I dont like calling and going for a checkraise because it is too likely a flush or straight draw will check behind on the expensive street and fold the river UI. If the 3-bet gets capped or our bet on the turn gets raised then I would think a bit on his hand ranges, as he could have made a set with his TT or 99.

Call and lead a non heart turn. It's very likely that if Barron is semibluffing 3betting has almost neutral EV.
