[Homer]

Look at your cards, ask yourself "is this hand worth making it 3-bets?" If the answer is anything but a decisive *yes*, the cards go in the muck.

I think this is a good general rule for beginners, but there are some exceptions, specifically when there have already been a few coldcallers to you in late position. Small-medium pairs and big suited hands like AJs and KQs are worth a call but not a reraise. However, mucking these hands isn't a huge mistake I don't think, so I suppose I might just be nitpicking.
