Isn't it just better to 3bet preflop here?

Krantz,
Are you still playing poker these days? If so are you playing live or? Just curious

I haven't played anything meaningful since WSOP. Will probably play WSOP again this year, and when online poker is back in the US I'll be back (unless robots take over the world)

Are you playing on any of the us sites right now? Or are you concerned about earning funds that could get locked up on a site?

It's possible to play poker online in the US.

Are you still stacking off with any T? Isn't a hand like T9, T8, T7s, T6s a pretty difficult decision vs a flop c/r? What would you do with those hands just flat and see what he does OTT? If the turn and river blank off would you call down with those hands even though it would look like you had a T most likely to the other player?

I know it is possible, but I mean when it is regulated, the player pool is larger, and playing conditions are better.

I don't see it as a difficult decision. You have top pair in a reraised pot vs a loose player in a HU match with no reads on what a flop checkraise means. It's not a glorious fist pump situation but top pair is too strong to fold, and there are plenty of players who will spaz out and make ridiculous bluffs when given the opportunity. With Tx I would take the line that makes your hand look as weak as possible. If we're beat we're beat, but if he's bluffing I want to give him the opportunity to put more money in behind. I'd consider reraising the flop small (to make it look like a bluff) or calling and calling down or calling and shoving over a turn bet (if the board texture is getting wet or it doesn't look like I'll have a good spot to bluff catch on the river). The only spot where I might slow down is if I call his checkraise and he checks the turn. I think in that case most players are just giving up or trying to trap you, in that spot I'd check and see if I can get to showdown or pick off a river bluff.

But I'm not so sure that spot will come up very often, I'm not calling too many weak Tx suited to a reraise preflop. 4b or fold!
