this seems like a clear 3 bet and fold to a 4 bet at these stakes.

I really dislike 3-bet/folding TT. You can profitably call it so you have to prove that is better than calling. Giving yourself some probability of not seeing the flop sacrifices a lot of EV because the EV of flopping a set is very high.

you are probably right im watching your video but the only reason i think its a 3-bet is if a guy at these stakes 4 bets you then you can safely fold which they rarely do. However they are bad enough to call your 3 bet wide and stack off really light. Example they call with ace 8 and the flop is 8 6 2 rainbow they are bad enough to not fold. I know playing higher though where they 4 bet a lot it can put you in tough spots. I guess there are other factors but you're probably right. Just my 2 cents.

Yeah, that's fine vs a player who's kinda fishy. However, I wouldn't expect a guy who's playing tight to make calls like that. I'm going with the default read that he is folding a lot of his garbage to 3-bets. If the read is that he doesn't believe in folding 3-bets, and calls almost all of them, then 3-bet/folding is fine.

Hey, on table 3 here, we isolated the 33 vs. the Limper, it's usually correct to iso baby pockets against one limper correct?

-Thanks.

Iso'ing is a fine default. There's a couple variables that may make a limp bettor.

1) Active 3-bettors to your left. If that happens they will force the player you really want to play with out of the pot. In essence, you're iso'ing yourself vs the aggro players. In the event that a blind player comes in with a raise you'll often have the limper call and you can call closing the action. This is a good scenario for you. However, you making it 4-5bb may induce a 3-bet that's large enough that calling with 33 is dicey.

2) The presence of another fishy player in the blinds. You may want to keep the pot smaller if you're going to multiway vs a couple players who don't like folding. If you're in that situation you have little steal equity pre or post. Then you're basically playing a showdown game. 33 doesn't have great showdown vs equity unless you hit a set. So, you're kind of just charging yourself to hit a set.

3) The player doesn't like folding. Again, this kind of turns into the same thing from the second example. You can't really v-bet your SD equity with UI 33. You can't bluff it. Mostly you're just checking down and seeing if you're good. Not really a situation where you need to build a pot. You might do better by limping and seeing if you hit your set, and then building the pot.

Thanks Threads, I'll check this out soon, get back to you if I have a question.
