So about my preflop decision: villain can fold to 3Bets, that's true, however, I had quite some dynamics going with this guy already as I had 3Bet him very recently 2 times and in the second time he seemed to already adapt by 4Bet/calling TT BUvsSB, thus I don't want to 3Bet him so recently again. Although a case could be made that maybe he would be willing to take the careful approach as well for a few hands since our last encounter since I stacked him with KK and that thus I can even 3Bet here and put max pressure on him. Went for the call though.
Against villain's preflop openraising range we are doing fine, given that we need to win the pot 40% of all times:
Equity Win Tie
MP2 38.34% 37.29% 1.05% { 87s }
MP3 61.66% 60.61% 1.05% { 22+, A2s+, K8s+, Q8s+, J8s+, T8s+, 97s+, 87s, 76s, A9o+, K9o+, Q9o+, J9o+, T9o, 98o }
I am willing to play back on many flops with backdoor equity vs this guy and if it was just me and him I'd have difficulty to see why this preflop call is not good. However, the blinds seem to be able to squeeze from time to time.
So on the flop I pretty much prefer betting there. We have to protect our hand + it is cool to have initiative + river free card, even despite the fact that villain does not call with worse in this spot. Postflop here does not concern me as much.
