3bet pots with double2

Hi guys,

I'm gonna start a new coaching series this next month, where we are gonna tackle 3bets.

This coaching series is aimed at trying to help Micros and Low Stakes players figuring out 3bet pots, pre flop and post flop, as PFR and as caller.

What is it?

Four coachings of 90 minutes each. It should go as follows:

[*] pre flop as the PFR - 4.6.
[*] post flop as the PFR - 11.6.
[*] pre flop as the caller - 9.7
[*] post flop as the caller - 16.7

For who is it?

Players that play NL25 to NL100
At least Gold status on PokerStrategy

Cool! What can I do?

Post hands in this topic regarding the coaching theme in question. For instance, in the first week we are going to take a look at pre flop 3bet spots as the aggressor, so post hands where you're having trouble figuring out your 3bet range.

When will it be

The first coaching will be on the 4th of June, at 8PM CET, next Thursday. Remember the theme will be "pre flop as the 3bettor", we will discuss ranges and go through your pre flop hand examples.

1st: 4th of June
2nd: 11th of June
3rd: 9th of July
4th: 16th of July

See you there. Post hands!

Hi, just saw the post in the new posts :)
pre flop as the 3bettor i would like to know how the % of hands from the opp open range that i should 3bet.
25% - 50%? How much vs unknown, how much vs fit fold guy, how much vs thinking players.

Another question is what indications i have that tell me the player is a fit fold if i have 30 hands?
What is the limit to abuse the fit folder, as i can;t 3bet and cbet all the time ?? Or should i cbet every time i 3bet ?? I think we need to clarify this aspect a bit when 3betting.

Maybe i can answer these questions myself, but it helped me to write them.
Wanted to tell you that you are really cool in the poker life. No exageration.

He open 3x so I don't think this is strong enough to call, but I don't like 3bet either because he folds to little :f_mad:
We prefer 3b A5o-A2o or something like A8o-A6o ?

vs reg opening about 15% this is a fold for me.
this guys is fishy (marked at stars as fish) so I think that I should play this type of hand but just call or 3bet?

Hi,

What is your plan here? I dont like to flat AQo MP/CO vs UTG so i think this should be better as a 3bet for a lot of reasons. What is your default range here vs unknown?

UTG fold to 3bet: 62
4bet range: 1,5
4bet range UTG: 0(35)

What should be our plan here?
3bet for value AK, QQ+ (can we 3bet this for value even against someone who not 4bet, if so, what should be our plan against a 4bet?)
3bet bluf, we can tend towards blufs, but in this case, since villain only defend by calling, we should pick some playable hands instead of hands like AJo do you agree? things like Axs, 89s, 9Ts

Perhaps the best question I can ask you is to list your read less defend to 3 bet as well as 3 bet ranges IP and OOP from all positions of course.
Would you be willing to do that?
Appreciate it!

I think we cant call this profitably, so what should be our plan with this type of hands? What would be your range against this villain?

This is a diferente situation, now villain folds a lot, but defends mainly by 4 beting. What should be our plan here? do we polarize our range or do we 3bet a large linear range? by the time i think i would like to have a large value range (to call the 4bet) and then also have a trash bluf hands, now i dont realy know if thats a good plan. What should we do with hands like ATs or AJs or AJo, flat or 3bet with the intention of calling the 4bet?

Villain SBvsBTN resteal 20%. Cbet 3bet pot OOP 38% , x/fold F 79% in general. OTF I decided to x/back because I have SDV and If I bet he would probably call with weak aces.. OTT he could bet his weak aces and also as a bluff with GS or FD or totaly air since I showed weakness OTF. Now when I review I think I should have folded OTR because his bet is mostly for value . But at that moment I thought he doesn`t represent an A so I called hoping he is bluffing me.

I have some more hands but should be pretty same spots as cantiflas post.

I have some tendency to not 3bet bluff when they don't fold to 3bet, insted I 3bet a somewhat linear range but should we prefer blockers or playability?
In case of playability, lets say BU vs MP (or: 20%, fold to 3bet: 40% ) we prefer 3bet QJs or 76s for example? QJs sounds like a call but kinda sucks 3bet 76s and loose to higher flushes. What changes if it was BU vs CO (or: 30% folt to 3bet 40%) ?

if i 3bet more than 15% opponents seem to adapt at NL5. They adapt in a bad way even at 10%... they dont adapt according to position.

Question 1: if i 3bet 35% then my average would be just 10%? I wanted to construct my default 3bet ranges with 25% vs unknown.
Question 2: how to learn faster the cc and 3bet ranges, i need a good advice to learn logic and fast!!!
I have an idea...... to work aside table on equilab and create cold calling and 3bet ranges IP and OOP vs 10% OR, 15,20,25,30,35,... and to print it and use it at table. Is this a good way or you have a faster way ?
PS: its a bit too complicated because i have to include polarization and merged and linear polarized(a bit merged).So i have to learn 3more types of 3bet ranges. Not to mention that my cold calling range is different in each situation because 3bet goes hand in hand with cold call. This will take a year or more to work just on this subject.
Question 3: you said we need to defend 50% to 4bets so why is that... how did u get 50% number? (i find it huge) What is the principle of how much we should defend?
Question 4: i need some basic 3bet database filter analyses... what should i mainly check for?
Question 5: i have written a how to construct 3bet ranges... what is your opinion on it?

Spoiler

Constructing 3bet ranges
1)Villain’s PFR% tells us how often to 3bet.
As a general rule we should 3bet 25% of villain’s OR range if he is unknown.(double2 says 33%)
25% is a multiplier between 15 and 35 dependent on P.E.
-When P.E. is low we can 3bet 15% of villain OR%.
-When P.E. is high we can 3bet 35% of villain OR%.
-When P.E. is nonexistent we can 3bet 50% of villain OR%.
Eg1. Unknown villain open raises from CO and we are on BTN.
First thing is to assume a range for CO-villain. Lets say 26%.
We 3bet 25% of 26% = 6.5% of hands.
2)Villain’s Fold to 3bet% tells us what ratio between bluff and value should we use when 3betting.
In other words the ratio between bluff range and total 3bet range should be exactly villain's Fold to 3bet%
VS unknowns we should create a report for our limit and see the average Ft3bet%.
If we don’t have a database at that limit we can assume Ft3bet=50%
Eg2. Unknown villain open raises from CO and we are on BTN.
We assume Ft3bet=55% so we should 3bet 50% as a bluff and 50% for value.
From Eg1 we know we 3bet 6.5%. We 3bet as a bluff 50% of 6.5% = 3.25% and for value 3.25%.
3)When to polarize your range?
-When P.E. is low or high(opponent calls a wide range, especially when they have position) - merge your range
-When P.E. is close to nonexistent (villain plays 4bet or fold, especially when he is OOP) - polarize your range
Obs: When you polarize your range, the 3bet bluff range should be the best hands we are folding.
Also make sure that range vs range equity is about 55% in your favor.
-VS unknowns we can use a linear polarized range (a polarized range that is more to value and less to bluff).
Obs:Use high-equity hands in position such as suited Ax and suited Kx and offsuit broadways.

Question 6: i have written a how to adjust our range based on postflop expectation. What do you think about it?

Spoiler

Range adjustments principles – general (OR,3bet,CC)
TIGHTEN UP YOUR RANGE when P.E. is low( we encounter difficulties in stealing postflop)
-vs shortstacks (because of low fold equity caused by low SPR)
-vs aggressive opponents (bc they resteal or put us in difficult spots with our marginal hands)
-vs not nitty enough opponents (bc they will call light) - low FTS%. low FtCbet, WTSD>25)
-vs unknown opponents (we consider postflop expectation as low because it is less exploitable)
-when playing OOP, 3+ players left to act, bluffy table image
LOOSEN UP YOUR RANGE when P.E. is high ( we have a good chance to steal postflop)
-vs tight deepstacks (we have high SPR, good implied odds so we can put more pressure postflop)
-vs passive opponents (we get cheaper SD with our marginal hands or draws)- low 3bet%, Cbet%, AF
-vs too nitty opponents (we make them fold their good hands too often)- high FTS%, high FtCbet, WTSD<25
-when playing IP, few players left to act, table image conductive to stealing
Obs1:-when purely isolating a player that never folds top pair hands postflop(calling station)
Obs2:-vs players that don’t call raises(VPIP-PFR<2%,high FTS) and dont call 3bets (high FT3B)<=> non existent P.E.

OTR I expect him to xback AJ,AQ even AK sometimes. But what about Turn? It`s fine to x/call or we can x/fold?
