Obviously I know the answer to that question. But.... when I 3Bet during cash games, I frequently see players leave the table after they fold. Some are regs who i'm 3Betting for value, or attacking their high f3bet%, and some are recreational players who I am isolating in position. Either way it seems to be bad for the table and drives certain players away. I 3Bet for 3 very good reasons:
1. To thin the field and get heads up going into the flop.
2. To get more money in the pot.
3. To maintain an aggressive image at the table.
These are good reasons, and yet I constantly see players leave the table after getting 3Bet as if I had committed an offence against them. Have you guys seen this happening a lot too? This is frustrating because … GTO (Game Theory Optimal) practice... encourages us not to do anything during games which drives away weak opposition. And yet, we know that 3Betting is solid Poker and part of a winning Tight Aggressive strategy.
So, here's my question. How do you balance good Aggressive play with keeping players who hate 3Bets in the game?
