AK in SB facing potential light 3bet

Results 1 to 3 of 3
  1. #1

    Default AK in SB facing potential light 3bet

    CO: 13/6/2.5 with a 35% att to steal over medium sample
    BTN: 13/11/1.7 with a 36% att to steal and 8% 3bet over a good sample

    I've seen the BTN 3bet on the button a suspiciously frequent number of times. I wanted to re-re-steal but the CO's PFR is only 6% and my hand would be completely owned if he 5bets us. Is my fold too nitty?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (7 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    saw flop

    MP1 ($52)
    MP2 ($28.25)
    CO ($55.70)
    Button ($52.65)
    Hero (SB) ($50)
    BB ($79.45)
    UTG ($79.40)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with A, K
    3 folds, CO bets $2, Button raises to $6, Hero wants to be a nit and fold

    there is no shame in folding, but you can just as easily re raise here as well. You have to trust your reads.

    felting range is like

    original raiser's range is probably 20-30%
    he will felt like 3% of that range and fold like 17-27%

    since it's BU vs. CO, his real 3b range is 9-10%
    BU will felt like 3% of that range and will fold like 6-7%

    we're getting folds more than half of the time, which is OK because CO/BU can fold a smaller pp

    if you 4b, you HAVE to call a shove due to pot odds
