Overcards in 3-Bet Pots as the Preflop Aggressor

by MiiWiin

You have been the aggressor pre-flop and now you find yourself in the rather common spot of holding overcards in a 3-bet pot. This is usually a situation in which you have fairly little information: Are you still ahead? Do you have six or even more outs for a winning hand? Or are you already drawing dead?

In spite of these difficulties we are about to let you examine a few of these spots to make a reasonable decision.

Good luck!
