3bet Questions

Hi, so i recently started getting into the $22-33 holdem mtts and i noticed a huge change in play.
Aggression level went way up.
But my question today is how do you know when to 3bet somebody.

reason im asking this is whenever i play a mediocre hand or rags i always seem to get 3bet. And i mean always. i played 500 hands and out of the ones i opened. i was always 3bet air and folded 2 with monsters.

Now this isn’t me crying about my luck but more about the indications of when to 3bet and when not to. I know theres positional 3bets and also statsitic 3bets relating to VPIP and PFR but what else do you guys look for?
Timing?

i look to 3bet with AA.

thankyou for your incredible insight. does anybody actually have somthing of use to say

learn how to 4bet light gimp

Never wrong to 3bet and u cant 3bet enought :)

So dont play junk, start 3bet more , and punish people

if you’re going to be 3betting a lot, you’re going to have to do it with junk. Unless you card-rack it up Wzt.

is a question of defining junk :) , take position into count :)

watched a mate yesturday whos got like 150k in holdem profit alone 3bet from the big blind a9o after there was a raise and a call from middle and button. It’d just be interesting to understand why that is done

First raiser in middle position is obv opening up there range in middle position EG: K-Jo…..
the button knows middle pos is opening up there range and calls in position with say 9-8s…..
Your buddy in the big blind knows that if he 3-bets here ( squeezes ) that the first raiser would be scared of the buttons hand and will fold and the button will probably follow and fold.

probably b/c there was a lot of dead money in the middle and it was a good spot to 3b and pick up the chips without a fight and if someone 4b/jams, he can easily fold his hance since he has a9.

I’d probably b lookin to 5b jam tho

hance = hand.

id snap ur 5b with k3o ppp cuz ur 5b range is 56s-qj …. but if u 5b light i might 6b light and fold to a 7b shove. gg. level.

thanks :) thats the types of answers i was looking for

ive never 2bet without aces, let alone 7b. I’m a nit bro.

and pigs fly

1/1 Vpip/PFR ftw

another small point but with a9 you got an ace blocker so less aa or ak combos so just slightly less likely they got a 4betting hand. I know I’m nit picking but I think this is relevant when u make this play 5 times a day over a year sample of mtt :) my 2 cents
