Back To Basics. Annoyingly simple preflop question.

why would you reduce your 3betting range against a player who raises 30% of his hands? In the games I've seen the average player raises far less than this. It is true that a better player will make less mistakes postflop and an aggressive player will confront you with tougher decisions. However, your 3bet is also likely to generate more folding equity against a good player than a random player. I don't think the negatives I describe above offset the increased equity edge you have against this specific player's opening range, which is why I think you should be 3betting with more hands, not less. Also there's some obvious metagame advantages to 3betting him a lot (namely that he will fold more hands allowing you to play more and take the initiative more often by opening)
