$25 nl 6-max, 100 bb stacks
This hand's hard to play. How many of you 4-bet pf? I know, "it depends on villain," but assume villain's not been out of line. Say you've played for 100 hands and he's been TAGgish (in that he's not a true TAG, for he might call a bit too much) You raise from the CO and the Button 3-bets ~the pot.
Assuming you call;
Flop is Jc 8c 4s
Earlier today I c/r on this board, but it seems like I'll only receive action from hands I'm beating (villain folded). OTOH, I want to protect against 6 overcards, so if I do decide to check OOP then I'm really obliged to raise.
So I think the superior line is to lead ~pot, 3-bet ai. That way we're raised by 1) TP 2) pairs which we're now beating, like TT/99) 3) weird draws like AcKc 4) naked AK 5) air. If called then I like to continue the heat on the turn, on the premise that most $25 nl opponents don't play too tricky in 3-bet pots (I don't think he'll try to steal, in other words).
