A couple of 3bet pots i played last night.

I pretty much never check here. just bet small to half pot almost always. I'm betting 99-JJ but i decided to check this flop.

The flop is good for villian so I check my straight draw. I don't have many tx that doesn't continue betting on the flop so i thought I could try for the OB on river.

what hands is pio suggesting as bluffs?

-Pre I think 3betting pre is better. Somewhere between 75 and 90. Even though he is a tight opener most of the players have no 4bet bluffs. They'll probably even call most of their AK and only GII with KK+ but they will have a lot of folds and calls and AQs is just too good imo. AQo makes just calling more attractive as does being in the BB instead of on the BTN.

-F We definitely want to bet the flop. Maybe a smaller bet is good because of the low SPR.
What size would you bet if you had KQo in this spot?

-T The 9 isn't good for our hand but we can both have all of the QJ and he has sooo much more trash being in the BB that I don't think it's actually that good for him. He can have a lot of very weak kx. I think that most of the time our had is too strong and it's a great hand to be able to apply some pressure with. It's the low spr that has us handcuffed. i think checking is fine but betting is probably better.

-R not much to be done here. good fold.
