| nl 3 betting preflop. What would you guys say is a good 3 bet for nl games? 3x the original raise? more? less? Or should it be situational, i.e. opponents being LAG, TAG, passive, etc.. Also, what about a 3 bet Squeeze if there is a caller or two, after the raiser. Last edited by Lopos : 2nd August 2008 at 12:12 AM. |

| At 2$ NL, I'm mostly 3-betting for value with some squeezing thrown in once in a while. I generally 3-bet pretty large, because when I do it for value it helps build big pots (easier to get it in), and when I'm bluffing it has more fold equity. Just keep in mind that a lot of the players at 2$ NL are the 75/2 types, so 3-betting against their raising range doesn't have a lot of value. |

Now, what do you consider to be a large 3 bet at 2nl? say it was raised to 6. 3 bet to 18? Bet to pot? Over bet the pot? |

| Depends how deep the stacks are, and how loose the player is. Usually I 3-bet loose players a lot larger, sometimes up to 5 times their original raise. So if a loose player raises preflop to 8 cents, I would 3-bet to about 32-40 cents. To put that in perspective, if there are no callers or limpers a pot-sized raise would be to 27 cents. So I'm effectively over-betting. Things do change based on stack size as well. Against short stacks, I'm 3-betting more hands that have immediate showdown value (AQ, KQs, AJs, 99). Against deeper stacks, I'm 3-betting hands that have more implied odds (A3s, 67s, 33). This also changes based on position. I'm more likely to 3-bet more marginal type hands that don't hit a lot of flops out of position (AJos), and in position I'm more likely to 3-bet with implied odds hands. |

At 25$ NL 6max I 3-bet a *lot*. Just because you 3-bet doesn't mean you're looking to get all in. |
