    dont think personally its too big a like 2 make my 3 bets just over 3x what my opponent initially raised no matter if its aces or 109 suited,and it was a button raise so can be raisin with wide range just ul he neva had anyting that time round.

    This guy's one of the best agro regs at this level, and prob the best button player....

    I suspect he'd have been battering the blinds from the button, how have you been responding to his opens throughout the session?

    I don't mind 3betting smaller here, or even dare I say "flatting" because of your stack size. But think I prefer a smaller 3b, just because a) getting 70xbb in in 3 streets is easier than getting 100xbb in and b) villain is capable of 4 betting light in some sitiations so obviously we want to encourage him to do so here.

    full stacked if you 3bet wide I like the sizing

    70BB deep, or if you dont 3bet much you can prob make it a bit smaller for reasons doh gives

    Maybe a bit less like £1.80 but I don't think that would make a difference if he was opening wide anyway to try and target the big blind.

    Don't like the idea of just flatting but maybe it's an option if you think he can get attached to a marginal hand on the flop like TPWK.

    nope perfect sizing imo, your on the sb the least profitable and hardest position to play.

    Yeah ive been on a few tables with him now and have gd notes on him as ya say very aggro , i know he has a wide range-ish openin play so in this kind of situation i play my hand slowish to see a flop BUT surely on some occasions he HAS to have a gd hand and i was kinda hoping this was one of them
