CO is unknown.

I have some Ksxs, which I 3bet as bluff BBvsCO, in my range.

I posted this hand to ask how to approach w mid pair in 3bet pots, especially oop?

I think x/c sucks, when I don't have any backdoors, but even w backdoors I will often face a lot of aggression on later streets, because my hand is kind a face up.

So I think that betting or x/f is better option. I personally prefer betting, because we can sometimes turn our hand into a bluff on later streets.

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.05/$0.1 No-Limit Hold'em (6 handed)

Known players:
[tg]BU$10.99:///////;SB$23.03:///////;BB (Hero)$19.40:///////;MP2$18.42:///////;MP3$9.61:///////;CO$11.92:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is BB with 6:h, K:h.
2 folds, CO raises to $0.30, 2 folds, Hero raises to $1.00, CO calls $0.70.

Flop: ($2.05) 2:c, 6:c, Q:s (2 players)
Hero ???

Hey LuckyManFromLT,

Yup, I agree with comments. It's not good to use vulnerable 2nd pair hands as x/c. Much better to cbet for protection/semi-bluff.
