Default How strong a hand to reraise an open button raise from the blind?

Hey guys,

This may be an elementary question but I think I may either be losing money or not making it in this spot many times.

Assume an average table, lets say party 5/10. Folded to button who raises.

What hands are three betting from the SB? How about from the BB if SB calls? BB if SB folds?

Thanks for your time,
Evan

This is obviously very player dependant.

My baseline in the SB vs a steal is something like: 66+,AT+,KT+,QJ+,A7s+,K9s+,QTs+,T9s+

Against a steal and a Coldcall from the SB I only 3bet my better hands as I wont take it down without a showdown as often.
Something like: 99 AQ AJs KQs.

I think this is a decent baseline, maybe even tighten up a little more in the SB, especially if they dont steal alot.
Probably coldcall some against the guys who will take A-High to showdown. 3Bet more hands vs the ones who gives up alot on the flop or turn.

If SB folds I 3bet 77, AT, KJ, A9s, QJs, but this is again player dependant.

I´m not the best blind player around here, but noone else have answered...maybe they will comment on this though.

Thanks for the reply, this is generally along the lines I was thinking and have been doing.

I realize it is very player dependant, and against hyper aggresive raisers Ive found myself three betting with things down to 67s. Which I really think(read know) that I shouldnt be doing. Regardless I think it worked a few times and it got me overconfident with such hands and I found myself doing the same against many more players. Which again I know will come back and bite me.

Thanks again,
Evan
