Anyone here showing a profit flatting 3bets vs the blinds when you're on the button? I am mostly concerned about non-premium hands. If you're showing a profit I'd love to know how. In my database I'm losing about double the amount I would have lost by folding and I have a deficit with many different hands. My current database only has 65k hands but the other one with 200k hands showed similar trends.

I used to be very deadly in this scenario about 5 years ago but now my results are not good. I'm doing pretty well 4bet bluffing and trapping big hands vs OOP 3bets but my flatting non-premium hands is simply not looking profitable. I understand how to employ many different strategies in this spot and used to pilot them to a nice win rate but now I don't seem to know what I'm doing.

Generally what I like to do is evaluate the flop and determine how well it fits my opponents range. If they check I will often stab if the board misses their range but if otherwise I will take the free card. Versus a cbet my floats are doing very poorly and my opponents usually barrel the turn or look to check raise the turn, overall I'm getting punished in this regard. I sometimes raise the flop as a bluff, particularly on ace high flops so I can attempt to bluff out KK-99 and that play used to work very often for me but now it seems that players are very aware of it and they usually call or raise back. Are there any flop textures that work well for bluff raising the cbet? Maybe something like 854? I even wonder if they would fold to the raise with AK or AQ, I find my opponents to be very sticky and hard to move off of a hand. I have also tried calling the flop with light/medium strength hands and then if I bet the turn they often call or raise, but usually they just double barrel and I call again, and then they often shove. I have also tried repping big hands and getting very aggro post flop but that has gotten me into trouble as well. Ofcourse I still do well when I can flop draws and generally play them for stacks, but most of the time the flop misses me and I need to bluff or give up.

I'm at a bit of a loss as I feel I have a wealth of experience and my win rate in this spot used to be enormous, but after a two year absence from the game I feel that I went from strong to weak in this regard. Most aspects of my game are very strong still and my win rate is quite good, but losing more by calling than folding with decent hands is unacceptable. I should note too that I have experimented with calling a wide variety of hands and generally tailor my calling range to their 3b%.

Any advice or insight is greatly appreciated. I really need to plug this leak. Thanks :)
