This is an interesting question actually

I would expand my value 3bet range slightly.

The % of 3b bluffs depends a lot on his stats. How often does he fold to 3b, does he have a calling range, how often does he check call the flop etc. If he is really aggro and 4b a ton, I would throw some pp + Axs for 3b/5b bluffs.

Actually it should be a very sweet spot with all the dead money and sizings. Quick calculation, after he 3b pot is 15, if we make it 28 and he 4b to 60 then there is 92 in the pot. Thus we risk 172 to win 92 + we will usually have around 30% equity(out of the top of my head) when called.

Solving for:
92x + (1-x)(264*0.3-172*.7)
x, fold equity needed to BE is around 30% which is quite good.

My calling range would consist of hands that play well multiway like PP, SC, one gapper SC as fish will be calling as well and decent broadways.

K9o would not be in my range given SB barrels a lot. KTo would be the bottom of range I guess.

What are your thoughts for our range in this spot and why did you chose to call with K9o?

Hi

I think the call is way too loose.

U have position on SB but u are oop. Pot is likely to be multiway so playability is impt.

Its a decent spot to flat AA KK. Ill probably 3b QQ and AK for value and for playability reasons. The raise size is kind of huge so ill try to avoid having too wide of a range. Maybe suited broadways and AJ KQ
