Message: [QUOTE="300HPGOD, post: 6031450, member: 305911"] Well I am not a poker coach but I disagree with the idea that you should never call from the SB. That leaves folding or 3 betting and I think doing that will leave you folding too much, 3 betting too light or a combo of the two. There needs to be a calling range and that range will depend on the opener and the BB opponent. In this hand I like calling because the hand flops well and we have an opponent that we believe we will get value from post flop when we hit. I dont mind 3 betting if you think villain will fold. Their stats say they do fold to 3 bets but they are also playing 20/16 so they are not maniacs pre flop. I would say in this scenario since it is a button open that you can call or 3 bet since button opens will be lighter. If this was an open from EP I would say call for implied odds or fold but not to 3 bet. So it will depend on how light you think the open is, how much will that opener fold to a 3 bet, and what type of player is BB. If this is a player that played more of 40/30 style then you can 3 bet more for value as you have a greater chance of being ahead of their range. In this hand specifically though I would only be 3 betting to get a fold based on villains stats. I am not doing it because I think I massively ahead of villain. When villains are aggro and we know it then I usually play a check call game and that would also carry over into pre flop as well. I hope this helped because the real answer is it will depend on opening villain and their stats and position and also BB style. Just a note too I am weary of any training that says never do this or always do this. There are too many variables in this game to always be doing something or never be doing something. [/QUOTE]
