previous page 1 2 next page

Introduction

In this article you will learn that:
  • Making light 3-bets makes you hard to read, which enables you to win more small pots.
  • TAGs and semi-LAGs are your prime targets.
  • You need an effective stack of at least 71 BB.
  • A good measure for defending against light 3-bets, is a broadened 4-betting range.
Light 3-betting pre-flop simply means that, based on certain factors, you 3-bet with non-premium hands against exactly one opponent (cold callers unwanted!).

This article will be mainly directed towards explaining the decisive reasons behind making such light 3-bets and what should be taken into account. You'll get more familiar with the basic concepts in order for you to incorporate light 3-betting into your own pre-flop game. This'll enable you to deviate from the tight ABC-Poker, which is not sufficient anymore to play successfully from NL200 upwards.

Through concepts like light pre-flop 3-betting, you are able to shape your game in a more creative way and further develop yourself as a poker player.
