3bet range preflop

[griffey24]

That's probably impossible to generalize.

I'd imagine a 3b less polarized IP, prob 3b stuff like KT-KQ,QT-QJ type stuff IP if I felt a cold call wasn't profitable but a 3b was.

Wouldn't this technically still be referred to as a polarized range, since we would be 3betting the best hands that we felt a call wasn't profitable with? Whereas, with a depolarized/linear range, we are choosing to 3bet some hands we could profitably call with, expecting the 3bet to get more value due to villain calling with a worse range?

Shouldn't villain's tendency when facing 3bets play a large part in helping us choose which range to 3bet? With us 3betting a more polarized range against players that are playing primarily a 4bet/fold game when facing 3bets, and us 3betting a more depolarized/linear range against players who are primarily calling/folding when facing 3bets?

So that against most fish, it leaves us 3betting a depolarized range both IP/OOP. Placing hands like our better suited/offsuit broadways into our 3bet range. Unless he's flatting a lot of 3bets and folding frequently to cbets, in which case we could 3bet tons of hands profitably.

And against other players, such as regs, we typically have a polarized range IP, and depolarized OOP? Since a lot of regs only 4bet/fold 100bb deep OOP, but flat wider when they open from CO/BTN and get 3bet from the blinds.

So assuming not against a fish, IP against an EP/MP raise, our 3bet bluff range will consist of hands like offsuit broadways/A5o/K9s/T8s/etc that we can't profitably call with, but that hold blockers and/or are suited (in case he does call). Whereas, IP BTN v CO, we can more aptly call with some of our better offsuit broadways, shifting our 3bet bluff range downwards towards more suited gappers/Ax/Kx/Qx type hands.

And OOP, against a CO/BTN open, where we expect villain to flat more 3bets, we can start placing hands like suited broadways/good suited connectors and gappers into our 3betting range that play well postflop. While flatting those steals from the BB with offsuit broadways keeping in dominated hands.

Overall, OOP I probably don't 3bet much against EP/MP opens unless they are either folding quite often, or calling quite often. This might be a mistake (idk).
