Hello Friends!
I wanted to start this thread as I am currently trying to build a complete strategy for 3-betting at in 10NL FRHE cash games.
In the past my 3-btting has been extremely hit and miss, not taking in to account opponents's tendancies and generally pretty basic and somewhat flawed. I have been reading and studying every article I can find on the subject. The following is what I have come up with so far.
The factors that influence the ranges you will 3-bet are:
The strength and tightness of your opponent's perceived range:
Your opponents PFR %
The average PFR%of the players I am up against is about 9. Anyone with a PFR% of 11 or over I will class as loose. Anyone with a PFR% of 7 or under I will class as tight.
Your opponents position at the table
I will look to divide the table in to approximately early, middle and late position. All things being equal, a plyer raising from earlier position has a tighter, stronger perceived range.
...putting these two together:
.............early.........middle..........late
<7 PFR..... 5..............4 ...............3
7-11 PFR ..4............. 3............... 2 (I would use these for villains that I have no significant stats on)
>11 PFR... 3 .............2 .............. 1
Using the numbers in bold we get the strength of villian's perceived range
5 = Very strong-a very tight range
4 = strong-a tight range
3 = average-an average range
2 = loose-a wide range
1 = very loose-a very wide range
YOUR position at the table:
I will look to divide the table in to approximately early, middle and late position.
The way your opponent is expected to react to your 3-bet:
The average fold-to-3-bet% of the players that I am up against is 78%. If his % is <78 I would imagine a 3-bet range balanced more towards value would be better and conversly if his % is >78 then more 3-bet-light hands should be included to semibluff?
Relative stack sizes
Have yet to get around to this bit!
