Something I\'ve been adding to my game, and its been working....
Rather then calling down from a turn c/r fearing the monster, I've been 3-betting with solid hands vs bad players.
I've been catching a done of bluffs and worse hands whom still see the showdown. It also has nice metagame implications; they never check-raise me in future without the goods. Example: I have AJ on the button. Folded to me, I raise, BB calls. Flop is J86. He checks, I bet, he calls. Turn is a 5. He checks, I bet, he raises, I 3-bet. Normally, I'd call down. How is this approach? Is it better then the old 'weak at the knees if I dont have a monsters'?

I think I would make this play almost always against an aggressive opponent, and rarely vs a passive opponent. If the turn was an 8 however, that would make it a little tougher.

I usually calldown here against most opponents, maybe i should try to search for more 3bets here?

Im usually not one to promote hyper aggresiveness, but there's probably a little bit of value edge in the times he has the monsters vs the times he doesnt, plus I'd love any metagame value, especially against tough bluffers.

Hands like this are why I'm overaggressive. I've been trying to really get away from stuff like this when I don't notice guys checkraise top pairs often enough to risk getting capped by the many hands that we're beaten by. In steal situations though, this seems pretty standard against a lot.

It was a genuine question, not sarcasm. You said "bad player". I 3-bet as well unless he is a very passive bad player where I call down and prepare myself psychologically for just another suckout.

What limit do you play btw?
I guess we should 3bet more if we play, lets say 10/20 then 3/6?
