Message: [QUOTE="JimmyBrizzy, post: 1033998, member: 29758"] His play is definitely a little confusing, but it's not because he's a good poker player. As was mentioned before (even though he is a fish) his 8% PFR is relatively tight and he is UTG. Your 3-bet preflop is weak giving him pretty good odds to call at a little better than 2:1, and you don't end up isolating him. -[B]Just a side question...does anyone think calling preflop for set-mining purposes would have been better, and if not what is the reasoning behind 3-betting this type of opponent?[/B] I think a push is the best option. You don't have much, if any, fold equity (he's got around $8 left), but you have to charge draws (AK w/ a diamond, possibly other overcard combos) and over pairs (QQ-AA) that may think they are good or have a diamond in their hand.
