What should I be doing in this situation? Or what would you do?

Be interesting to see what people say, cos I feel I played it totally wrong after this point.

I really hate these bvb spots but I am jamming here.

I thought so too in hindsight, which obviously means I didn't. I guess I give him an option to fold cos it'd cost him 38 more if I jam.

yeh im getting this in. But this is perhaps the bottom of my range. TT probs goes in as well.

[Bully87]

Well I flatted, which isnt a disaster as I can fold post flop when his standard Ace with AK flops...but I didnt fold trying to be a hero. Im such a donk.

it is pretty much a disaster. you can't flat a 4b to 24bbs when you're only 100deep, just jam or fold. but don't fold.

Yep flatting is the worst of the three options.  Because on the flop you are going to be put to a much harder decision and the combos that beat you on the average flop are a lot higher than they are preflop pretty much irrespective of the flop.

flatting is clearly >>>> folding?

guy has a 3% 3bet so I assume his 4b range is pretty tight pre flop so imo folding is way better than flatting.

folding might even be the best option, but because you have such a small sample on the guy (only 80 hands) I'd just get it in PF. speshly with how aggressive you appear to be (whether or not he has noticed or not IDK)

I wouldn't flat pre-flop, to stack off on non A/K boards, we don't really gain any value except making some EV when AK/AQ folds without us having to showdown but pretty sure this is negated by the amount of times we stack off to OP's

over 80hand sample size...

the guys a huge nit, just flat his open and definitely don't get this in pre

no look at the bottom of the post - no edits :p

[Bully87]

Some good points.

If I get in this situation I'll be sure to check his 3bet% but the sample as mentioned isn't the biggest but he is tight.

I guess I need to just keep playing, get my database of hands up so I can get better reads and get the sample size up.

Next time, I'm jammin'
