Let's say you have 100bb in all of the following situations. These are all full-ring by the way.

1. A nitty straight-forward player raises to 4bb UTG, you're in CO and BU is a loose passive who is likely to come along to see a flop. You are 100BB deep.

3bet-ak.

with high pps, im not as worried about postflop vulnerability, even given bu's tendencies, and im looking to build a big pot, which seems easier multiway than hu vs a passive fish. ak is 3bet for value, and to iso the pot.

this one depends a little more on the stats, against opps who are positionally aware, and arent nitty tags,

also needs more reads, since my preflop range will depend a lot on his preflop tendencies
