I think the JTss hand is OK if you are 130bb deep or more. Garrett has the right intentions and crtaviee mind, but there are 3 things going against him in this spot preflop:1) He is only 100bb deep; not enough maneuverability for this adventure.2) He is OOP.3) His 3bet wasnt quite big enough. This piggyback's to reason #1; if he 3 bets to say $50, he is almost committed when called on any favorable flop being 1st to act with initiative. This is a bad spot to put yourself in. I think folding isn't totally out of the question since we are oop, but admittedly that may be criminal with a hand like JTss (believe me, in ev calcuations its actually close, and if hero is a poor post flop player it should be mucked.)I am happy with the 3bet when 150bb or so deep. I think the flop action is so close that I may just put all my money in as a high variance punishment for 3 betting pre, I want to learn from my mistake and our overall equity is well described by Garrett. I think he has a great idea of where he is at given the villains tendencies and his action. I am calling off their because given we invested $90 I want to see how this plays out and because our equity given reads is fair. Note this is with a bankroll to use this as a learning exp. (personally I am not folding here after what transpired). I would gladly show I 3bet without a premium OOP here and use that to my advantage, regardless the results. I think this would help hero if he reloaded assuming me lost, or kept playing with a large stack in getting paid off lighter.
