A nit makes a surprise shove (5NL)

[M.I.B]

I would prefer to 3bet preflop with KJo vs a 60/20 for value and to iso. As played with your info i call.

If you had said KJo 3bet as a bluff I might have agreed. His fold to 3bet was high so his continuing range crushes our hand. Because he's folding enough here (i believe at this point fold to 3bet was 100%), 3betting would have been probably immediately +ev, the question is whether we find more +ev spots postflop by flatting, which i guess is a close-ish call.

sorry thought you stated in earlier post that utg was the whale id be 3betting him for value, the nit is the caller in the blinds is that correct ?

He is a whale, and we've seen him fold to 3bets already, and we are not certain how strong a hand he feels is necessary to continue to a 3bet since well, the sample size is a bit small. But since we already know that his continue range to 3bet != 100% of his PFR range, we can assume that we will fold out some portion of the weaker end of his range. How well is KJo faring vs that?
