Richard~;288123 wrotevery true, but the fact that he's a regular probably means he's a thinking player so I think there's a reason in his mind for 3xing, and I don't think it is cause he wants to loosen up
Edit: and yes that is a big assumption but it's how my limited experience is telling me to read it
Right, I think at higher stakes that might apply because you can assume reg + higher stakes = somewhat winning/thinking/competent. At these stakes I think there are tons of regs with huge leaks and might be putting some thought into hands but maybe not that much overall. I think by virtue of him 3x'ing in a spot where he should never be 3x'ing, he's probably not thinking that much. I would generally subscribe to jamming in this spot and seeing what he shows up with and taking notes rather folding since we can't conclusively say what he's doing with the 3x, and it's good to find out this stuff early when it's someone you play a bunch.
