Rock · $1/$2 live

The rock who hasn't played a hand in an hour and suddenly 3-bets you has aces or kings. Not "probably." Has them.

Why they do it

This one's simple. Rocks don't 3-bet light. They don't get bored and decide to mix it up. They've been sitting there folding for an hour waiting for exactly this moment. Respect it every single time.

The adjustment

Fold everything. Even QQ is a tough call here depending on stack depth. JJ and below is an easy muck. Just let it go and wait for the next spot.

What it's worth

Calling a rock's first 3-bet of the session with anything less than a premium and running into aces is a stack. One correct fold here pays for a lot of other mistakes.
