yeah. you can 3bet fold better hands....but it's a shame to 3b fold hands that have potential to flop really well.  hands like 83s or J4s their main value is bluffing value.

I agree 83s is a little on the weak side you don't have to pick that specific hand (it wasn't me who first picked it as an example) but whether you're 3b folding with 83s or J4s or 74s the main point is basically the same.   You pick a certain number of combos that you want to be in your bluff range and you find those combos from among hands that are  either the bottom of your flatting range, or just a little too weak to flat with.  your BLUFF range doesn't need to be particularly strong/good.

What you don't want to do is 3bet fold your weakish medium strength hands, and that's what I feel like some weaker players are doing when they're trying to balance their ranges...why would you 3bet fold a hand like A4s which is potentially ahead of a bunch of his raising range and even has  25-30% equity against the top of his range.  it's a shame to end up folding a pretty decent medium hand like that which can flop tons of equity.  Better candidates for balancing ranges are junky suited cards, IMO.
