Not really. I think its worse that your new to the table. I sometimes(pretty rarely) make raises like this if I have a good image and I feel my opponenet gives up to easily on the flop.

i very rarely do, but i think its a mistake not to do it more.ideally, we're at a table with loose opening ranges, but tight(ish) blinds. we're not stealing, so you'd think the button and bb need to pick up a hand to call here, but crazy things happen in SH.even in full games, i think we need to be far more prone to 3-betting here. we have position, a "made" hand, and if we fall behind, it is usually obvious (i.e. an ace hits).you may need to make an uncomfortable raise on the flop, and we're rarely betting the river, but i still think its a profitable play to 3-bet players who do not have very tight opening ranges with mid and even low pairs.

It is very difficult to play 22-44 postflop in these situations though. I need 77+ to 3bet here, and 55/66 if the guy is pretty loose, but lower than that is a muck.

Almost always.We will often be able to get Villain to fold a higher pocket pair postflop.And, assuming this turns heads up, it shouldn't cost us too much to see showdown.I fold to any counter-aggression after the flop.

Theoretically...If we had been at the table longer, I would have had a chance to establish a read on which players I can push off better hands.So it would make this play easier.But on the other hand, villains would have established a read on me that I like to try to push people around.So they would be calling me down much more often.Thus, I actually like this 3bet better when I am new to the table.Folding your 3's preflop can't be too bad of a play.And I've started to get away from 3betting with them when the initial raise comes from first position.But in this situation, I usually go for it.--CM
