Hi! Ive been trying to construct a range so that i dont have to fold or 4bet when 3bet from the blinds. I was thinking about their polarized range and came up w/sthng like 77+,a10s+,j10s+,K10s+,Q10s but dont want to test it unless i get some opinions from u guys. Thnx in advance for helping!

But is their range polarized, and how do they play post flop?

I'm guessing we flat any flop cbet,any texture,and bet any turn if checked to. FYI you don't need a range to do that. Helps to have some EQ though.

That is exactly what I did against a light 3 bettor. He got the message soon enough.

If villan 3 bet from blinds its 70ish% steal attempt! So the range varys! But what you got looks fair enough!
I usually flat these spots and then re-raise/donk any flop depending on who I am up against ofc.
If its a strong 3 bet, like 3.5-4.5x, and I get action on the flop, I call and shove any turn.

Depending on the effective stacks and Villain's tendencies I might flat with any non-garbage hand and reevaluate postflop. Hell if the stacks are deep I might flat with like offsuited connectors and suited gappers. I mean we're IP with good IOs, it's worth seeing a flop.

And that is why it's so dangerous to hold like AA on a super deepstack structure.

If villain is 3-betting a polarized range, you should tend to flat more.
If he is 3-betting a merged range, then 4-bet.

Do not 4-bet vs. someone with a polarized range, and yes this means you should probably consider flatting QQ+.
