I'm not sure what to do in these spots with semigood hands in lowish blinds. BUT is a reg with 30% BUT steal %. Should I 3bet here or just fold? What about hands like 66+, KJs+ etc? And if I 3b, shove or regular 3b?

These questions are quite basic, but in 9mans most are so nitty that they will just fold to a non-allin 3b, but in 5max I often get flatted so this spot is kind of a difficult one for me.

Well I dont like 3betting if the chance of getting called is high and having to play oop with marginal hand in 3b pot. We mostly want to 3b ppl with a wide opening range who will fold to 3bs with decent frequencies. 30% is not that huge so Im ok to let this go. Villains fold vs 3b is important. Villain has 25bb so we would have to shove but we are not last to act so it looks overplayed.

I dont like calling 66 oop vs his stack size - we have to ch/f most flops and dont get good implieds. JKs looks much better to call with and I would opt for that. (He mostly cbets Jxx or Kxx flops so when we hit we can normally get an extra bet out of him.)

against a 25bb open you are often committed once you 3bet. so unless he is folding a redic amount to 3bets its just a fold. if you were in teh BB you could consider flatting.

you should 3bet small with your whole range at this depth with 1 player behind
