Low pairs are another option, and even any ace or suited kings in some circumstances. Such hands are suited aces and suited connectors. We're looking for folds here, but we want to bluff hands that are going to give us easy decisions on the flop about whether we continue or just give up quickly. We can also bluff on the button vs a player with very high fold to 3 bet, but should be thinking about whether the blinds are likely to complicate things by cold calling the 3 bet and making it a multiway post flop. We can employ this in the blinds vs wide steal ranges. Additional 3 bets we can do in position vs villains who open a wide range and/or have a high fold to 3 bet.

At the micros we can probably just stick to a tight linear range of value 3 bets.Ģ. This range might vary a bit depending on villain position/range and our position.

We need to be getting value from our big hands that have a lot of equity. If I go back to basics, I know that basically we can outline three purposes behind 3 betting:ġ. I'm mostly at 5nl right now, so keep that in mind. Feel like I need to totally start over and rebuild from the ground up, be reminded of a few basic concepts. I've got a bit out of control with my 3 betting since I moved over to using 3 bet or fold, could use some help redefining my ranges and importantly WHY I'm 3 betting rather than calling or folding.
