Villian is a regular which open around 40% in the spot. Against that range I have only a flip with my hand. I would 3bet this often versus Regulars, since I block AA/KK have some equity and fold equity pre and postflop. But against this specific opponent I am not sure what to do. He rarely fold preflop, and folds only 36% on the flop (raising 30%). I am not sure if this hand is still strong enough to 3bet. Also not sure if which of my other option I could choose. Folding feels weak and I doubt I will make a profit if I call (BB is a ABC Tag), I think this is a spot where I will have a lot of non-SD loses if I opt for a call, since I have not a really good plan how too outplay him postflop, besides playing solid.

I know this isn't propably a very interesting and maybe just close preflop spot, but I am a bit lost.


Postflop I decided that two backdoors and a gutshot is enough reason to try a cbet even against a opponent with his tendicies. I quickly folded to his raise and made a note to be aware of similar spots in the future.

I think you can fold it pre given that you only flip against his range and that he seems to play back a lot postflop. If he´d be opening a little loser/ fold more vs cbets I´d lean more towards a 3bet.

On the flop against this particular opponent I´d rather just c/f.
