OOP i will polarize more with hands I can't call with but IP I am fine taking a flop vs guys that will lose more than they should 100BB+
yeah but if we don't feel that calling IP with A9o would be profitable, it's a great hand for a 3b bluff

similarly, if we have KQo on the CO and we feel that the BU or the blinds can squeeze and the MP opens we shouldn't be too happy about calling and should probably just make a loose 3b that is not really for value but is also not a 100% bluff, just a hand we don't want to call with
or even BU entering the pot just makes it uncomfortable

I've mucked KQo in a similar position before and I think we have every right to 3b
