Re: 3-betting HU from the BB
You don't need to bend over so far that suddenly your own pocket is in jeopardy...

Re: 3-betting HU from the BB
Thanks for the analysis, and it seems to make sense. I play 5/10 though, and I think this generally applies to higher games. I don't usually encounter really tricky LAG players, they are generally pretty straightforward. I will keep this in mind though as I encounter different situations.

Re: 3-betting HU from the BB
The answer depends on if it's truly a HU match (which the BB is OOP) or simply a SB vs BB battle (which the BB has position).
OOP, top 20% of hands. In position, top 30-35%. Also, I probably shouldn't be telling you this [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Re: 3-betting HU from the BB
I think I worded this badly. I meant in a 6-max game where the pot is currently only being contested HU. IE, guy raises and it's folded to you in the BB.

Re: 3-betting HU from the BB
No, I think my reading comprehension sucks as after re-reading your original post it makes sense.
I think you are pretty spot on with what you said in the OP as far as ranges. |

Re: 3-betting HU from the BB
hmmm I just assumed HU, not six max.

Re: 3-betting HU from the BB
I have spent a fair amount of time struggling with the issue when to 3-bet in hu situations, from the bb. Frankly, the only answer that is remotely comprehensible to me is that there is no set answer.
For one thing, it seems that there is a huge amoount of variance in the way that our opponents play hu. (Granted, I am speaking about 5/10 and below, so perhaps that makes a difference.) Moreover, if we are playing against a player with any history, mixing it up seems more important than any other factor. If there was an approach with an obvious mathematical edge as there are in many or most of our decisions, that would be different. But it just seems that there are too many permutations for that to be the case, when discussing HU situations. |
