I've seen this brought up a few times but I'm unsure why, could you explain why we bet smaller in 3bet pot?
Hi Matt,
First we have to look at SPR ratios. And second we have to look at ranges.
Normally, in 3-bet pots, you have a tighter/stronger range and villain has a tighter/stronger range. Due to smaller SPR you don't need to worry about protection as much as you would in a SRP.
And, given ~100 BB stacks, you can get the money in comfortably by betting 1/2 pot or around that. And when we bluff our bluffs have to work less often because we put less money in.
Of course there are scenarios where we deviate from this "standard" like spots where we don't really have a bluffing range so we go for pure value.
