5/10 3handed: spewing?

[xCEO]

Villain is a TAG

3handed Abs 5/10

Hero opens on the button with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] BB 3bets

flop: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

BB bets, hero calls

turn: K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

BB bets, hero raises, BB 3bets, hero folds


This is not my standard line, I often just fold the turn.

Seems fine to me. Sometimes I just call down, too, depending on how the villain's been playing.

Why would you call this down? What you you think you are beating from a TAG 3-betting from the BB?

[SomethingClever]

I'm a TAG. If I'm in the BB in a 3 handed game and the Button raises, I'm 3-betting a metric [censored]-ton of hands.

So, you're beating decent range of his holdings. But, like I said, it depends on how the TAG has been playing/running. You can't let yourself get pushed around 3-handed... you need to call down with A-high somewhat frequently.

More in general, what are good flops to make this play? Or against what oponents? Like here, when a "scare" card hits?

Well, I think that's a pretty good board for the play you used. You have some good fold equity, I would think. And it's easy to fold to a 3bet.

[SomethingClever]

Just to clarify, when I talked about calling down earlier, I meant without raising the turn.

I clearly don't call down after raising the turn and getting 3bet.

[xCEO]

Ofcourse, I understand. What do you think of raising the flop? And take one of the lines in my post?

I think some of those can be good as well. If you want him to fold, I think raising the turn is more likely to get it done. If you want to get to showdown, raising the flop is more likely to get you there cheaply.

So, you just gotta pick a read, decide what you want to do, and go from there. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

[oxymoron]

You say he is a TAG but this is three handed. What are his VPIP/PFR/TAF/FB/AtS numbers? At three handed it should be much higher than a six handed game. As a TAG I'm three betting 3 handed with a lot of hands and playing it aggressively even more so than a 5-6 handed game.

If he is a weak TAG at three handed play and is only doing this with good hands you can fold here and run him over later.
