opponent is pro short
29/24 with 9.5% 3bet

opens 39% on CO
CO fold vs 3b is 61%, 4b range 6% (but I guess he just 4b shove a lot on CO while playing 35bb deep)

obv he is v aggro postflop, afq 63/44/26
wtsd 30, wwsf 47, w$sd 48

I don't like few things about how I played this hand, so wanted to check it

1) BB is tight reg with low sqz, just flat pre?
2) if you 3b, what sizing would you make? if he was 35bb deep I would do sizing I did, but when he is 100bb deep do you make it 8? 9? my std 3b oop size against 2.5bb open is 9.
3) he has 43% fold vs flop cb, 28% raise cb in 3b pots, what is your plan? do you like bet bet shove, as he should fold a ton, after calling 1 or 2 streets as his range is v. wide? do you start by betting? what cards would you barrel? sizing?
4) on this turn this is xc xc, right? as shorts love to bluff scare cards

Hey ciachooooo,

Vs unknown CO opener don't think this is even a mandatory defend. Vs 39% range we have to defend. Generally this type of hand is going to play better in our flatting range from the SB (although bluffing +EV in isolation).

I don't think there is a "correct" squeeze size as such. Personally I like small 3bets and squeezes - it forces an optimal opponent to defend a wider range where he is going to make more errors. 7 is fine here imo and probably what I'd pick.. The majority of players probably make it 8 or 9 though.

Flop I would just put this in my x/f range. With the A:sT:c might cbet and barrel good cards.

Turn x/c clearly fine.

River is villain dependent. If your read is accurate we just call down. I still think it's a river fold vs a decent amount of opponents though.

how do you like this statement (I mean, do you agree with it?)"pro shorts love to bluff T and R on scarecards" because this was my reasoning for river call, I thought for a while otr and after this statement came into my mind, decided to call

Your statement is accurate for a decent amount of shortstackers, but not all. Presumably we will find deviation amongst shortstackers the same way we do amongst regs.

The other issue we have here is, even if the guy is a SSS guy, he is sitting deep. So if he's decent he is going to be adjusting his strategy. If he's short we won't even get to the river etc. So maybe any population reads we have on shorties just don't apply here.
