Three Betting

What is your opinion of three betting? Are you utilizing the three betting in your game why or why not?

To me this is a part of my live game that I am working on. It can be uncomfortable but after getting over the comfort level it’s actually kind of fun because you don’t know how someone will react to it.
The thing that is really helping is already having the plan of what to do if they 4 Bet, or if the flat and then we have a plan on what to do post flop.

Good luck! I’m curious on how you folks deal with that situation, do you 3 Bet or just flat a raise. I know chip stacks and who you are playing against and all the other factors but say everyone is at 100 big blinds and we don’t have reads on any player yet.

If I have the hand advantage as per the opponent's possible hands or if my had is great enough I tribet, sometimes with connected junk, to get rid of speculative players in the hand.

I like to play postflop so I call more than GTO-charts recommend. Most players are also terrible postflop since it is easy to learn/memorize preflop charts.

BUT if they call my 3-bet too often, I use a linear value range and remove all bluffs. If they overfold, I either use a polarized range (or just 3-bet bluff more and call with my strongest hands).

Whenever I enter the game first, it's Mini Boost. However, if there are limps on the table or a minimum bet, I will 3-bet if my game is good. If he makes 4-bet, I can double if it's a very strong card, like AA or KK, or I'll pay. But Tribete has to be part of our game, especially in positions of robbery, when there is a game, or in BB to remove the button that increased.

The game also has an impact, for example in Omaha tournaments, 3-betting is less common among good players.
One WCOOP Omaha winner 3-bet only once during the entire tournament.

That’s pretty interesting! I don’t play or study Omaha.

It all depends on the situation at hand. I feel like the times when it would be better to 3bet are when there is some other factor that makes something unusual, something out of the ordinary for me.
