NL5 SB Open TT facing BB 3bet
Hero opens SB to 3bb with TT, BB 3bet to 9bb. What should we do? In theory (looking at zenith preflop sims) TT is pure 4bet. But this is assuming BB is 3betting a lot more merged and balanced range than 5nl population. So if we assume BB is 3betting more polarized (and balanced) range, does our pure 4bet with TT become pure call, since if we 4bet we are just getting folds by A5 K6 type hands and play postflop oop vs 2 overcards or vs JJ QQ?
Next question is: if we assume BB is now 3betting more polar range than the solver suggestes and is value heavy, still having decent amount of bluffs but not enough, can we fold TT?
This is BB 3bet range from my database (not including me being BB) https://gyazo.com/b488dd88184ec574e35b6a28a641e0c8

I guess at NL5 esp. the BB is often 3bet a lot less than optimal. So i guess i would stick more to flatting in a vacuum (even though his 3B/F range has some equity vs TT usually).
But given the fact that his range is usually more linear and strong, i guess we isolate ourselfs too often vs stronger holdings by 4betting.
But i dont really get your last question: Do you mean folding TT vs the 3bet? That is out of the question vs anybody i guess
At 5nl with no info I think it's definitely best to call here because:
1) I agree V is not 3betting enough at this level and so is going to have a stronger 3bet range than your zenith preflop sims assumes. I'm not saying it's all value, but much more towards that (with no info to the contrary);
2) I think that at this level and with the above reasoning you're basically turning your TT into a bluff in this spot; so
3) Why bluff when we can outplay V postflop (or flop a monster which is always helpful!).
If anyone disagrees I'd love to see the other side of this coin!
