6 Max FML Moments - Being 3bet

Yes absolutely James, opening 55 protects our UTG range. And if you're on a table soft enough not to need to protect your ranges then 55 is likely profitable on its own merit anyway.

Tbh I never ever said not to open it! I said if you chose to fold it UTG you're not giving up too much, that's all. And I only said this in passing in response to someone's comment. On other hand, it is a bit extreme to say as Rupert does that folding it is terrible. It is not terrible at all, it is close. Anyway, not sure how I got into a debate on this considering I normally open both these hands and only adjust in certain situations.

Sorry You made a good point and it exploded from there, i certainly gleaned things i knew, but didn't consciously accept from the discussion. (55 being B/E but it making more hands profitable etc etc)

id look at how your opponents play postflop in 3bet pots more. calling a 3b w a certain part of your opening range might be fine v villain1 and terrible against someone else. your image, his ability to fold, your range for flatting 3bets and his barreling tendencies are super important. Look at streets in advance of the immediate action and how/where your edge might lie.
