Justrun is a 23/21 guy. Decent player, 3-bets regularly.

Not standard. Standard would be folding preflop to the 3-bet.

I suppose once you see a flop your play is OK as long as your image is good. He shouldn't have much on this board all that often and you are repping AA/KK.

well yea standard is fold PF, which I do the majority of the time.

But occasionally making this play to combat 3bettors, is that standard?

Making the play where you call the 3bet with whatever decent hand you raised with, then CR all-in on a bunch of flops.

Well, i think the important thing here is to determine how large his normal 3-bet is preflop. I find that players who do it a lot are likely to make a larger raise with AA than they might with AK here, thinking that it's going to increase the chance of action. if you're up against a larger than normal 3-bet, I fold. If this is the RR he normally makes, then I don't mind this play.

The downside, obv, is that you could be called by AA with 5 outs, or worse by QQ looking for running quads. The upside of course is winning it right out, or getting called/outdrawing him. At the very least, a call could be great for table image. If you do get called, win or lose, the next time you have a hand, CRAI, and dont' CRAI again here unless you have a hand.
