A9

3 bet with A9o OOP ? Too tricky ... ♠_o:

I'd be more conservative 3b bluffing vs a short stack. And if he proves to fold a lot to 3bets I'd make the 3bet a bit smaller maybe .30 just because he is short

As played i think the Flop bet is too big, I'd rather make it 1/2 pot in a 3b pot.

Hello thebaptist333,

Fold preflop vs 50BB guy without any information.

Best Regards.

I'm sorry I didn't post villains stats but I can promise you that if I 3bet A9o in SB it was against one of the many regs that are stealing 50%+ hands. There are quite a few of them and I have over 1k hands on most of them and I have bet sizing reads as well. I guess I assumed that was implied since I'm never 3betting an unknown in that spot with that hand.

My real question in this hand is whether I should be giving up on this flop

Well, then also you should be at least posting his fold to 3bet. Or the reason why you did the 3bet. And yes, I would be towards Check/Folding the flop, doubt that we making many hands to fold while he has a lot of PPs in his flatting range and of course traps.
