Couple or Noobie questions....

[chekraze]

what is a:

3bet

ABC

[4_2_it]

The term is usually used in limit and refers to a re-raise. First person bets, second person raises, first person raises the raiser (hence 3-bet), in most games if the second person raises again the betting is capped (most limit games only allow a bet followed by a max of 3 raises).

Look here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betting_%28poker%29#Terminology)

If you are referencing something else, give an example situation.
