3 betting & 4 betting pre flop

Can someone please link me to an article containing information on 3 or 4 betting pre flop, since it is an arera of my game that is seriously lacking. Or if someone could write here explaining it all ,that would be helpful too

can we add ,cash game or tournament differences etc.

^^^ Anything, im looking for a general that covers a lot of areas, even if only briefly since im still new to 3 and 4-betting for value but i cant find any. I used to 3 bet with big pairs only until chuck enlightened me to the glory of value 3 betting with lesser holdings

dbitel wrote an article on 3-betting light which is great: http://www.cardschat.com/f11/hi-i-m-...at-post-76473/

Basically 3-betting should be used for value as well as balance. If you're playing micro stakes (~25nl and under), most players will look you up anyways, so you can save the 3-betting strictly for value with your big hands. As you move up in stakes, players get slightly more aggressive and more observant, so you can 3-bet with wider ranges to keep them on their toes. I mean if the only time you're 3-betting is with big pairs, your opponents will notice this and won't give you any action.

4-betting gets a little complicated, but usually unless you're up against a maniac you should save it for your KK+ since most people won't give that much action without something that beats <KK and the unpaired hands.

What stakes do you play?

Cheers you two, much appreciated

my staple game is £100 nl, which is effectivley $50nl when converted to the yank dollars. It is also full ring, with generally about 5 other regulars give or take of who i play against daily, with usually around 3 new folks who i havnt played with much on average

u dont mean 200$? isnt british pounds twice that of USD?
BTW, what has happened to dbitel?he was a great poster

^^^ Really???? Wow thats amazing if thats true, i did not know i was playing stakes that high. I always thought the pound was double the dollar, don't know why i thought that, i just assumed for some reason.

To be fair though, it feels more like $50 nl playwise. Since the lowest games are £50, then £100 (my game), £200 and £500 in my casino. So it is only the 2nd level available, so the play isnt great, probably as good as the $200 nl tenbob has talked about on i-poker

Its actually quite enlightening and joyful knowing im playing stakes that high although if comments are to be made suggesting various things, it is probably best if you relate the £100 to $50 or $100 online, since it is probably around the same skil llevel.

Well you already got the link but i will give you a testimonial , It works great and is pretty effective give it a try.
