Button 3b light against reg - bad flop?

Results 1 to 10 of 10

    Default Button 3b light against reg - bad flop?

    Villain is 18/12/2.4
    Fold to 3bet 77%

    I noticed he opened 3x with a marginal hand (44) but opened 4-5x with QQ. I usually 3bet light against people with higher fold to 3bet %'s but I decided to take it a shot at it since I had the bet size note. Oh, and 34s was too pretty to just fold

    Do I cbet this flop? What would his continuing range be besides TT+?

    fold to 3b of 77% is great no? and its likely higher if your read is accurate.

    34s is probably the bottom of my 3b bluff range, but its like automatic against this guy.

    id bet more on the flop actually, but he should continue with more than TT+ against a btn steal. With the betsize note, its more likely to be like 44-99, suited crap

    100% cbet on this flop really.Would be nice to see his fold to flop cbet stats as well when 3-betting(helps a bit).

    To continue on this flop?Its gotta be pretty wide with 55+,Axo,although he folds 77% of the time to 3bet.

    Why did you bet so small on the flop? Do you want a call? There has to be a reason for every bet and size of bet you make.

    whats wrong with doing this against this villain?

    couldnt we at least 3bet light relying solely on preflop FE, and give up on flop since his range is so strong

    yeah he is gonna fold alot but when he calls your equity is going to be horrendous stove 34s vs TT+,AK

    pre-flop is good. When a 77% fold to 3-bet type calls you gotta think his range is getting strong - he's not folding much of that range on this flop and checking this flop behind with 8-outs is nice, and is more likely to result in villain taking a turn stab/calling down if you do hit the straight.
