To 3-Bet or Call with KK
Induce mistakes by betting to get a worse hand to call.
With this said, I have situations that makes me ponder whether or not I am playing optimally.
A player is OOP to me and I have KK. I can safely assume I have a better hand and can raise for value. But if that player folds to 3-bet over 90% of the time, by 3-betting and the OOP villain folds I have only helped him play correctly. So should I call in-position to this villain? Of course, this brings up the point about polarized 3-betting this type of villain. If I never 3-bet big hands, this can easily be used against me. So the question is, do I call with KK knowing he is almost always folding to a raise, but can not polarize against this player?
I am thinking along these lines:
1) If the OOP villain has a low 3-bet to fold, raising is perfect. You get a call to your value bet.
2) If the OOP villain has a high 3-bet to fold, I have to also raise because I need to win more smaller pots with polarized 3-bets.
A second, "I have best hand situation", is the following:
1) I call IP with 99 and the flop is 27T rainbow. Villain c-bets. Do I raise or call? More times than not, I have the best hand and vulnerable to any broadway card turn (bluff or villain makes hand). By raising, I am making a big pot with a weak holding. So raise or call flop?
