One part of my cash poker game that has always needed some work was preflop 3-betting. I never really got a good feel for when I should be 3-betting preflop aside from the obvious situation when I'm holding a premium hand. How often should I be preflop 3-betting light and when should I do it?
Should I be doing it when someone has raised and I intend to call from late position? Would it be more profitable to 3-bet and take control of the hand while in position rather than cold call with a less than premium hand?
Any tips on preflop 3-betting light in cash games would be appreciated.
