Is there any point 3-betting OOP?

[BPark16]

Normally I'd 3bet here, but with the action UTG and +1, I'm a little leery. An effective 3-bet is roughly to 2500-3k, which is close to a quarter of my stack. I just got moved to this table, so no reads. With stacks this deep, I don't think it's worth losing 25% of my stack to a 4-shove. Just curious on what others think.

Without any reads on the players its indeed hard to decide, what about calling for 200 in a pot of about 2000 ?

I'm with Migo - and I'm also glad to see that not everyone thinks that AK (especially off), not to mention AJ, A10 and A9, is the absolute nuts preflop. It is, for goodness sake, just A-high.

This is a great 3 bet spot....I'd say 3 bet to 2,200 and get it in over a shove. When you 3 bet here its gonna look like a squeeze play so people are going to assume you hand range is going to be wider. I mean without information I think its better to 3 bet also just because we aren't going to be going for just cashing we are looking to find plus ev spots, and 3 betting here is plus ev for sure

[fabolous987]

I don't really think so much about his hand just the situation....he could 3 bet J10o here too which I'd like as well or something.

i have fold ak-a10 many times with more than one player all in pre with no problem, now hu, ak i roll with pre, if i miss the flop i have no problem with a laydown

I like the 3 bet idea, ESP with 2 short stax calling..and will give you an idea of the initial better's play

[Rackinitin]

i would consider AJ a better hand than any pair up to tens almost all the time a pair in the hole gets beat.thats like 75% of the time a pair in the hole gets beat.with someone holding AJ,AQ,AK.At least thats what ive been seeing.for about 10 years now.

[royalpat]

small pairs in the hole are tricky that is why i like to see flop first

[royalpat]

of course, if you got one guy going all in before flop with ak you stand a very good chance with call
