oesd vs cold call

Hi Arigold,

I am leaning towards a shove here because villain can have bluffs or light raises of Jx and he may fold that on the turn.

If we check back we only win if we call.

However, why not shove the flop? Do you expect him to only raise value?

When he cold calls my 3b preflop I don't expect him to bluff raise me often so yes I think he does it only as value .

If you really only expect value then it's hard to imagine him folding on the turn at all so checking back becomes the best option.

Though, I still think that he can bluff hands like AQ/AK or pairs, especially if we've been active and 3-betting a lot.
