    Default how to categorize your opponent

    Villian unknown - small winner on TR like 2.4k or something silly. We've been playing maybe 15 hands, I 3 bet twice and he folded, he 3 bet twice, once I folded the flop and this time I didn't want to for obv. reasons.... most people that play me know that I hate folding and I'm a huge calling station but i follow guide from headsup-pokerstrategy.C0M , and that make the difference. what do you think?

    What worse hands shove here?

    AA, KK, TT, AK, AT, 35 and QJ is likely here, and I dont see hands like AQ, AJ, A9, KQ shoving.

    Only hands I put in his bluffin range is 23s, 45s and maybe JTs. His timing on flop bet and turn check is important.

    A smart man learns only from his own mistakes.
    A wise man learns from his own mistakes, and those of the smart man and the fool.

    What are the suits like in this spot? If it's completely rainbow then AA/KK/AK are a possibility (12 combos) but not likely as bet/bet/bet would be standard given you're probably never folding Ax anyway. He's basically repping only QJ and it is a possibility that he has it here. Of all the possible calling hands we could have in this spot we have the very bottom of our range so I don't mind folding.
