losing a big pot doesnt affect the decision at all .. .its all about trying to get the money in w/ the highest % equity. if u have a draw, your equity will be higher on the flop, if you have a made hand vs a draw, if the draw misses on the turn, you will have higher equity getting it in on the turn.
well, if you are 3betting, wouldnt u expect to get 4bet more often from a UTG raiser since it's more likely he has a bigger hand (but doesnt necessarily have to)? also, if u r 3betting and not calling, it means u r 3betting as a bluff/semi bluff because you dont think you have the best hand ... against a 25/18 or whatever he was, AJ is probably ahead of his range, when i play this style im opening all sorts of suited connectors and stuff like kj kq qj UTG.
and lastly, like, if u hit the flop, at some point you have to raise, so you can just take the initiative later if u hit a J or A high flop, or flop some kind of draw. I like to do this because it really mixes up my range for raising the flop since i dont only do it w/ sets and draws, if i called and hit top pr on the flop i can be doing it w/ that also ... makes it very hard for villain to put a read on what your raise means//plus i mix in bluffs occasionally on good boards.
and obviously anybody would rather 3bet this hand from the blinds vs a LP raiser, but that's not the situation that we were discussing, u know?
