3betting

[mulhollanddrive]

ive been playing poker for a while now, and this is probably the most common term i don't know the meaning of.

What is a 3bet? I gather its 3 times the pot or something similar?

[Warpe]

bet = 1bet
raise = 2bets
reraise = 3bets

[mulhollanddrive]

that makes sense. so re-raising the re-raise on the same street?

[Warpe]

and so on...a reraise after bet, raise, reraise would be a 4bet

[a500lbgorilla]

on the flop, its HU between me and you.

I act first.

I bet 10.

You raise to 25.

I 3-bet to 45.

You fold.

I show rags.

most commonly used in limit poker,where the betting amounts are set. In NL people will just say "he re-raised to $50" because it matters a lot if the guy min raised you, or raised you AI

it's a limit term that many people (myself included) use for NL to sound cool, or something like that.

It's just the 3rd bet on a given street, completely independent of size. So a reraise on the flop, turn, or river would constitute a '3-bet.'

Preflop tricks a lot of people because technically the blind is the first bet, so a raise would be a 2-bet, and the second raise would be a 3-bet (like the other streets). Just assume the big blind is the first bet and everything is simple.
