can we bet/fold this? I guess not we are priced in after he shoves (say we cbet 19$). So then bet/shove or check/decide (probably fold). He did not like to fold anything so I'm guessing he is calling with naked KK or QQ+gutter. It seems to be a bit close with the rake, but probably shove as it yields +5bb but comes with a huge variance. If he opened 40% then our FE increases (more worthless sh*t in his range) and our EV almost doubles UP (9,11 bb)
So what I learned from this hand? 3 betting loose preflop ranges is better and when on the flop it seems close, you can pot/call more liberally even with marginal hands. (as u might notice I gave him a pretty loose get-it-in range)
