Mr.Diamond -

Ofcourse if someone is 3betting wide, those are the spots that are better to call wider.

BUT - yes its mostly that I don't have a good read on their tendencies and ranges, or at least not good enough to play well postflop. Also, a lot of the hands I'm calling are gonna brick 75% of the time, but then I feel tempted to float AJ/AQ stuff vs these guys cause I perceive them as wide.

Nonetheless - the point I was making is that, even though in theory it could be ok to play these hands vs these ppl, I'm not playing them well enough and end up losing much more than if I just folded them all in the first place.

For ppl that play very well in 3bet pots without initiative, #1 might not apply.

It's rarely OOP, but yah I also try to force the issue quite a bit, raising their flop cbets with air often and other such nonsense.
