    Default 3 bet pots

    This one is maybe the most interesting.
    Limper is 50/8 drooler, BTN is 30/25/7 % 3 bet over large sample, BB is 22/16/1.1.
    Dynamic at the table had been BTN and I had been ISOing/3 betting a lot to get the fish to our right a ton. BB seems like a weak reg, I joined his table HU and he dropped out after 6 hands.
    Having a hard time putting BB on a range here. I dont think hes the type to flat a premium hand here. I'm kinda thinking he is leading here with better spades...
    I'm pretty sure I made it $6.00 or $6.25 3 bet Pre, I think the HH got goofed fwiw

    Hand 2
    22/17/6.5 %3bet 5%3 bet from SB over very large sample. Not much history at the table. I dunno about calling the 3 bet here, we are IP. Maybe his 3 betting range is not that wide due to hero being UTG? And I dont know much about his post flop play. Maybe safer to just fold Pre. He kinda Cbets a standard size thoughts on multiple streets?

    Vil is 45/25/4.5 over small sample. Though stats looks fishy prob a reg running hot. Hows my barrell? Looking back Turn bet should be bigger imo.

    hand 1 is just so sigh. As played fold

    hand 2 fold pre

    hand 3 srsly why are u 3bing hands like this if you get completely lost post.

    It's totally fine to just stick to a polarized range or actually you can just 3b for value down at the 50's and people will really just play badly against you reguardless.

    fold everything preflop also fwiw a reg running hot would look more like 45/40 than 45/25 and given that hes' probably an aggro fish you're going to have a hard time playing this hand without knowing anything about his postflop game. you're just setting yourself up to make mistakes.

    1. this is an interesting hand. i think BB can have AQ/99 when he coldcalls pre, based on his passive stats. because we have over 35% equity vs TPTK and better and a cbet looks super strong, bet/call > c/f flop.

    I did a rough EV calc to verify this:

    Win 112(35%) lose 47(65%)

    (39.2) + (-30.55) + FE = positive


    2. i'd call pre and float non A-K high flops, and fold to turn barrels unimproved. this is my default line versus regs who aren't super nits when i don't have any history.

    3. i like your betsizing. nh

    hand 1)
    - I think you should 3bet at least to 7
    - I would not 3bet this, because with this dynamic BTN will call much and fish probably too and you are OOP with 4 high

    hand 2)
    - I would fold pre

    hand 3)
    - exactly what Micro2Macro said

    Hand 1) I would make it bigger pre-for sure. Maybe your sizing IP, but OOP $7-$8 probably.

    As played, I'd imagine if fish is so bad, cold call can be much wider than normal. I'd cbet here, it looks mega strong.

    Hand 2) Guy is pretty tight, I don't hate a fold pre. If I call pre it's cause I think he's loose enough to call pre, and I'd peel this flop.

    Hand 3) I don't think the Q is a big enough scare card to get many folds out of his flop calling range. People show up with AQ here as well. I'd shut down.
