slaughtered this line.. so bad. just wondering what is optimal play if i know he's 3betting me light... 4b pre or raise flop?

Not really 3b you light is he

lol i guess thats true

definitely flat the 3b preflop if he's 3-betting you light enough that you can't fold this, KJsuited plays awesome in position vs light 3-bettor's range. don't raise flop.

i think turn is the only debatable street, pot is big enough and board drawy enough that you can probably shove over his halfpot bet. you can still make a case for your line though (call 3x), it just depends on how often you think he's barreling the river.

thank you sir

yea i prob put it in on the turn on this board

I'd shove turn.

Basically because the way its run out he's bet so tiny on flop and turn that its very unlikely he has you beat. When someone bets like this its generally some type of draw who thinks their bet will have some fold equity, but mostly they want to give themselves a good price on their draw. If you shove now he will be priced in on some draws getting it in when you have great equity, on top of the fact that he might make a bad call.

Add that to the fact that you only have barely over a half pot sized bet on the river which means he's hardly ever going to bluff when he misses.

This is situation & stack size dependent though, so don't try to apply this to every 3bet pot.

thanks for the input guys.

i would play it the same as you did.

I'm not shoving anywhere, not getting called by anything you beat.

Just have to call it down and suck the beats
