whats best hand we 4b/fold here? worst hand we 4b/call?

Your friend appears to have found the only table on Entraction with hardly any fishies.

He also appears to be a bit of a nit.

Binning here as the 3-bettor appears to be a competent reg and I would assume sees you as a nit. Probably 4b/f AQs+ and 4b/call AKs JJ+

Disclaimer: I am also a nit.

[pleno1]

4b/folding aqs on this spot seems bad but happy to be persuaded otherwise, feels just too much of a value hand s a btn squeeze

[skolsuper]

4b/c QQ+ AK, folding everything else, never 4b/folding. It's not hard to beat this level, unless you make it hard.

Sanity FTW

erm, he should get his foundations right first, like being seated a table with a lot of value.

As played his 3b is 7%, hero opened utg+1, ur not getting exploited by a 50nl reg too often, fold quickly.

[Oxford_HRV]

for someone who opens 20% of the time 1/5 and is effectively betting 3.75 to win 3.75 if he puts you on 77+ ATs +
then he is effectively knowing if you are a nit you will only continue with approx 1/3 of your hands therefore he is +EV raising you in postion

[silverslick]

I am folding here. Range to shove is QQ+.  I am not sure shoving AK is +ev as there is likely a pair so depending on my read would flat that hand.

What's with the 18/13 pre hero has? Strange for 6max no?

I think this is an easy pass, be aware of his 3bet vs you tho, and maybe play with some filters here, could be useful

As a perceived nit based on (18/13) I think he's squeezing alot lighter than what people think. Heros F3B stat would be useful.

AJs is a big meh hand in this spot.

Not sure I have understood you right, but it appears that you suggesting that villain will be 3betting more widely against hero than usual since hero is tight with his open raising range (18/13 etc). If this is what you are meaning, then it is backwards logic.

[pleno1]

I definitely 3bet nits as much if not more than aggro guys, sure they aren't going to have trash in their range but they are still opening a lot of combos of hands and because they are nits they aren't going to be fighting back. For example squeezing in this spot looks incred.

[Honeybadger]

3betting liberally against tight players may seem to work because you can go through stretches in which you run into the bottom of their ranges all the time. But as a long-term game plan it is completely the wrong approach to playing good poker. It's a bit of a cliche, but give action to action. Your value range should be massively constricted vs a tight player. And hence your bluff range should be correspondingly reduced. Otherwise you are completely out of line/unbalanced. Of course, if you are playing against a very bad weak-tight nit who doesn't know how to adjust then getting really out of line with your bluff/nuts ratios is a great exploitative strategy. But it will be doomed to failure if your opponent is competent. Not all tight players are bad players...

You don't exploit very tight players by 3betting them a lot... you CRUSH THEM by folding a lot

[pleno1]

It totally depends if their fold to 3bet % = y and it's insanely profitable to 3bet the. It's almost always goIng to be better to 3bet, also gives us a lot more implied odds in future single and multi raised pots where the not will stack off a lot easier vs us than anybody else.
