3-betting From The Blinds
Against a UTG raise,
the majority of your 3-bets should be for value. Unless I know UTG is a fish, I rarely 3-bet in this type of situation because my perceived range is so strong. An argument can be made that if my opponent thinks my range is strong, I should 3-bet with marginal holdings to make him fold his good hands. Although this reasoning is valid, I’m going to get called pre-flop a lot since Villain has position on me. If he is aggressive and good, he’s going to make my life pretty tough post-flop. My philosophy regarding poker is to put myself in situations to make simple decisions and avoid making costly one. This is one of those situations that I wish to avoid and I hope you do too. Since we are rarely 3-betting a UTG open from the blinds, we should call with the majority, if not all our holdings. If you only 3-bet with the nuts, an observant opponent will notice and will put a lot of pressure when you only call from the blinds. Besides, it’s not like we are giving up a lot of value by calling from the blinds. It is just one of those situations where no matter what you do, you aren’t going to get a lot of value out of it. The sooner you accept this fact, the better your game will be and subsequently, your bankroll.
It is important to note that there are a lot of players who won’t notice that you are 3-betting from the blinds with only the nuts. In such situations, I would definitely 3-bet KK+ and try to get as much money in as possible. If you find a particular player who fold to 3-bets a lot, you can start 3-betting with marginal hands such as 98s and KQo. However, I would be cautious of such an approach. There are much better situations in an orbit of hands where your edge is bigger.
Against an MP open,
the same principle applies, although you can widen your 3-betting range since your opponent’s opening range is wider and your perceived range is wider as well. It is important to note that you should try to have your range as wide as possible.
In this situational dynamic, you should 3-bet more often with JJ+/AK against looser opponents. If my opponent folds to 3-bets a lot, I wouldn’t 3-bet with JJ and AK and would call pre-flop to keep them in. I rarely flat call in this spot with QQ+ because it would be disastrous if I fail to stack my opponent’s premium holding. I would call with QQ+/AK only if I know the players who have yet to act is squeeze happy and will 3-bet if I call. If those players don’t exist at the current table, you lose too much value for not 3-betting pre-flop.
You shouldn’t be 3-betting with non-broadway suited connectors. They don’t play well in 3-bet pots and you won’t flop enough hands to continue after c-betting. Don’t 3-bet with weak suited Ax either. It doesn’t flop well and it is very tough to play post-flop. When you flop an ace, you rarely dominate your opponent and you only get action when you are behind.
Against opponents who rarely fold to 3-bets, tighten up your range by removing suited connectors. If they call 3-bets a lot and fold to c-bets when they miss, then go ahead and widen
Against a CO/BTN open,
you should 3-bet with a wider range because his stealing range is wider. The question is which range should you be 3-betting with? In this type of situation, I would like to 3-bet with a polarized range. What this means is I would 3-bet with premium hands such as JJ+/AQ and speculative holdings such as 65s and 87s that can’t play profitably post-flop without the initiative. I would call with marginal hands such as AJ, KJ, QJ, and pocket pairs. The reason is by calling with AJ, KJ and QJ, I can keep some of the hands I dominate in the pot since worse hands are rarely calling my 3-bet. Sometimes I call from the blinds with AK/AQ as well to have some nut hands in my flatting range and for deception value. Some players like to 3-bet small pairs from the blind against the CO/BTN because it works well with their game. Since I don’t like to play out of position, I like to call with those holdings and make my decision post-flop.
Maar imo is dat voor mij de meest comfortabele optie atm.
