There's a lot of this 3 betting to 7bb from a 3bb open now. Not sure about calling here, I probably set mine but as he's still 3 bet me in EP and I'll be OOP with an offsuit hand I play it safe and fold

Hey ChangNoi77,

I don't think this is a terrible fold or anything.

It's likely incorrect however. We are getting a decent price and hold a premium even if it's going to be close when he has a tight range.

At least we save ourself difficult postflop situations this way, but the correct option is likely to call pf.

Do you think that when calling OOP here we have any kind of commitment to bluffing some % of the time or is our hand likely strong enough to be able just look to flop a pair?

I think we have the equity and price to just be playing fit or fold here.
