Tip 2
3-Bet Wider from Late Position
Once you have some weight on the felt, you can
throw it around a little 💶 by 3-betting more frequently, but pay attention to
position.
When you have the advantage of position and a deep stack, you 💶 want to 3-bet a
very wide range of hands. Even if your opponent is holding AK or QQ, they will 💶 not be
overly enthusiastic about stacking up against you when they are also deep. If you 3-bet
a wide range 💶 of prospective hands in position, even when our opponent does call, you
will find yourself in very good shape.
Against weaker 💶 players you can widen your range
of 3-bet hands considerably. Any suited court cards will make a fine 3-bet, in
💶 position, keeping in mind the table composition and the depth of your stack. You might
even start including mid suited 💶 connectors and suited aces if you feel confident.
Out
of position, more caution is needed. Generally, you want to 3-bet bluff 💶 less frequently
when your opponents are adapting to the deeper stack sizes. The deeper the stacks, the
narrower your all-in 💶 range gets – and that makes you more vulnerable to 4-bet
bluffs.
In addition, you are also going to see your 💶 opponents’ flatting ranges widen
significantly, and hence your fold equity reduced.
However, the above assumes your
opponents will adapt correctly. If 💶 they don’t, then carry on as normal and replace any
KTo hands with their prospective 78s equivalents.
