I was just wondering about this since I started practicing to improve my live game betting skills. I noticed that pot-sized seems actually better than 3 bet.
I read in articles that 3bet is more cost effective (less expensive), but I was wondering what your take on this is.
For example, and to keep it simple. $1$2 game. Full ring, Preflop.
Villain (LAG) UTG raises 3xbb (pot $9). Hero MP+1 with AKs.
Normally nowadays online or live, you'd 3bet for value. So Hero re-raises to $18. Everyone else folds. Villain is getting 2.25:1 or he needs equity of 31%. If he had TJs, he has 38.5% equity and technically could call. Local live game; no take.
Now, instead of the 3bet we pot bet. So instead reraise $18, it is $21reraise. Villain is getting 2:1 or 33%. I guess, that still isn't enough to give him bad odds. But in general, isnt a pot bet better than a standard 3bet?
Thanks.
