Preflop: You can 3 bet this hand but flatting is fine. I prefer it to 3 betting when he raises so large, but maybe my reasoning is bad for that, just kind of something I've picked up by feel.
On the flop, he is repping a 7. He will also probably be check raising some flush draws as "bluffs". Theoretically, you are very exploitable by folding this hand. However, I like the fold here because, in practice, at micro stakes you are almost always up against a range consisting of 7x+ and flush draws. You must fold on any heart turn, and even if the turn and river are blanks you will probably have to fold your hand at some point.
I think just folding here is fine as ppl tend to have very strong x/raising ranges multiways that either have you crushed or 35% to 50% EQ as strong semibluffs.
Yes folding this hand against bb action looks good to me as well.
The worst hands I'm continuing with here are AsJs and AsQs because of the backdoor potential. BB looks extremely strong to me. I think worst hands in his range are KQ and the big flush draws such as AhTh and AhJh, also very often 77 or maybe even TT if he doesn't squeeze that preflop because utg is involved and raised for pot. Not sure how often he has 98s or KJs in his range for that small 50% pot x/r maybe 9h8h or KhJh but those two combos do pretty well against our hand.
would you 3 bet pf?
Yes I think 3bet is better than a call preflop. Especially against this player type and even more so against his pot size open.
...over 14 hands...no read on him. No kidding? Why are you even mentioning these numbers?
Is KQs part of your 3bet range in the CU against an UTG raise w/ no read? Probably.
Is it ok to check back a wet board in position in a soft game? Probably not.
Can you float his defend w/ top pair and back door nut draws? Probably.
Do you have enough knowledge to understand what this all means? Doubtful.
Do I even know what I'm talking about? Questionable.
What's your thoughts on Game Theory Optimal Play vs Exploitative Play?
