Welcome to the forum. I'd like to ask you to please stop reading strategy posts and also to never change your mind about this poll [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

So he could actually be a much tighter raiser then?

Not much tighter, but tighter, yes (in the same way that he could be a looser raiser, but not incredibly loose). I figured he was likely around a 6-10% PFR.

This is just a dumb iso-reraise. 6-10% means he's not doing this much. Fold and move on. You made a mistake. All the posts point to the same thing.

Your post wasn't all that helpful -- but I'm not sure if it was meant to be.

Your equity is very rarely bad in this situation (it takes him being much less than a 6% PFR for your equity to ever be a lot worse than "fair share"), you have position, you have initiative, and you've got a terrible player subsidizing any losses in the form of dead money.

Even if you disagree with a 3-bet here it's very rarely a "dumb" isoraise. AFAIC you've got a pretty strong holding here and the opportunity to use it to your advantage.

Do you ever cold call here or do you think it's raise or fold?

I 3-bet because I think initiative is going to be at least somewhat helpful in folding 6 outers incorrectly on the flop and occasionally folding better hands (i.e. folding 88 on a KT4 board).

Nice. I think either i.e. or e.g. would work here, though (i.d. = id est, "that is to say..."). E.g. probably would have been better, though. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
