Re: ace rag in the blinds
I tend to 3 bet or fold. Arag is strong, so don't feel scared to 3 bet em.

Re: ace rag in the blinds
It really depends on their attempt to steal % whether you should raise or fold

Re: ace rag in the blinds
U seem to use the word "stealraise" as if we could discuss it without knowing who is stealing.
Its probably your biggest problem. |

I call in the BB and fold in the SB against most opponents.
I don't want the initiative with Ace-rag. |

Re: ace rag in the blinds
How do people play this post flop? If you 3-bet preflop you're auto-betting most flops presumably. At that point, are you largely committed to a showdown with Ace-high?
I find JT easier than Ace-rag, more likelikhood of a good pair on the flop and if you completely whiff folding doesn't feel like a bit mistake with J-high. Not that Ace-rage isn't a better hand, I just have a harder time navigating the postflop streets with it. |

Re: ace rag in the blinds
the reason I didnt specify whether the raiser was a LAG or reasonably tight player becuase most players will open raise with a wide range of hands on the button, so its not easy to put them on a hand and I wanted to discuss this situation without the added help of any player specifics.

Re: ace rag in the blinds
totall player/stat/read dependent. I will 3-bet more often than not. From SB I will 3-bet because I want it HU. From BB I will often just call or even fold if the SB is pretty tight and has called. It is all so very dependent upon your opponents.
