With blinds at 100/200 with a 25 ante in a $1,000 buy-in event, a tight, aggressive player raised to 550 out of his 30,000 effective stack from first position. Everyone folded to a good tight, aggressive player in the cutoff who called. I woke up with on the button and elected to just call.
Three-betting to 1,900 is certainly the default play because it builds a pot in position with that is often the best hand. However, when facing a first-position raiser (who likely has a strong range), proceeding with caution and concealing the strength of my hand is never a bad option.
