what scuks about this spot is that if bluffs arent like at least a 30% of villains range here that everything u get it in against has sick good equity vs u or crushes u. or if the dynamic is such that u expect him to get it in w/ 44-77 here for value thats all in your gut thoguh. only hand that isnt a bluff that u have decent equity vs that isnt in the range of smaller pairs is 67. i used to adopt that flop top pr and never fold in a 3bet pot idea, but the more i think and learn about the game i think there are quite a few spots where it's just gonna be a huge mistake.
i think his minraise polarizes his range to strong draws, 2pr/set type hands and pure bluffs, so i kinda like to just flat it and then make the decision as to whether to play for stacks on the turn. i realize that there are a lot of scary turns but .. .problem is .. the more scary turns there are the less eqiuty u have against his semi bluffing range regardless.
other option is to just toss it on the flop after he minraises u. u have no kicker and when called are never in good shape.
(this all changes if youve been 3betting him so much that his flatting and minraising range is ridiculously wide obv, but i can only analyze it in a vacuum)
