How do you build your 3-bet range? Do you change it based on position or opponents?

A strong 3-bet strategy starts with clear intent. Begin with your value hands the ones that are ahead of your opponent’s opening range and then balance them with a few well-chosen bluffs.
The best bluffs aren’t random. Look for hands that block strong holdings or still have decent playability if called, like suited aces.
Always consider position: widen your range when you’re in position, and stay tighter when you’re not.
Keep it simple every 3-bet should either be for value or a bluff with a purpose. If it’s neither, it’s probably a call or a fold.

How do you decide which hands to 3-bet for value and which ones to bluff with? And do you change your 3-bet range depending on your position?
