I'm still trying to get a better feel for this topic. 3-betting is either for value or isolation. As always, I know there's are a ton of specific situations that makes it difficult to make a nice, neat set of guidelines but I'd just like some general thoughts.
Basic 3-betting hands: AA-99, AKs or o, AQs and KQs regardless of number of opponents. I would think this list is pretty much a given unless Tighty McWhitey is the initial raiser. How about some specific situations of other hands. How would you handle these? 1. A-Js in the BB. UTG limps, button raises, SB folds. 2. 8-8 on the button. UTG limps, CO raises. 3. K-Js in the SB. Button open raises. 4. A-9s in the BB. SB open raises. 5. A-10s in the CO. UTG+1 open raises, folded to you. 6. K-Qo on the button. CO open raises. 7. A-Jo in the SB. UTG raises, folded to you. 8. A-Js on the button. UTG raises, UTG+1 calls, CO calls. |

I'm really interested in the responses of more experienced players, but I would say:
1. Flat call 2. Fold! 3. Flat call - you don't want to reraise with this out of position 4. Sometimes reraise, sometimes flat call! 5. Reraise or fold (to a tight raiser) 6. Flat call! 7. Flat call or more likely FOLD! 8. Flat call! Wow, I love to flat call a lot. This could be a leak for me. |

I'm talking about a loose aggressive game with these responses, probably seen more at 10/20 and up than 5/10 and down.
1. A-Js in the BB. UTG limps, button raises, SB folds. --- Call or raise depending on mood/situation 2. 8-8 on the button. UTG limps, CO raises. --- Raise/Fold depending. 3. K-Js in the SB. Button open raises. --- Raise 4. A-9s in the BB. SB open raises. --- Call or Raise depending 5. A-10s in the CO. UTG+1 open raises, folded to you. Raise/Fold depending. 6. K-Qo on the button. CO open raises. --- Raise unless he's tight. 7. A-Jo in the SB. UTG raises, folded to you. --- Fold unless UTG is very LAG then 3-bet. 8. A-Js on the button. UTG raises, UTG+1 calls, CO calls. --- Call B. |

The usual disclaimer: "Assuming no reads..."
1. A-Js in the BB. UTG limps, button raises, SB folds. - One of the few situations where I might cold call. 2. 8-8 on the button. UTG limps, CO raises. - Reraise. Gotta try to knock out the blinds and UTG. 3. K-Js in the SB. Button open raises. - Reraise most of the time. Cold call isn't terrible. 4. A-9s in the BB. SB open raises. - Definitely reraise. Should not even be a second thought unless they have the tightest SB steal requirements known to man. 5. A-10s in the CO. UTG+1 open raises, folded to you. - Very player dependent. Assuming they haven't gotten out of line, I might fold this. 6. K-Qo on the button. CO open raises. - I'd probably toss it. 7. A-Jo in the SB. UTG raises, folded to you. - Again, very player dependent. If UTG has loose standards, I'm reraising. If not... ick... I think you're getting enough pot equity to call, but I'm folding any unfavorable flop. 8. A-Js on the button. UTG raises, UTG+1 calls, CO calls. - Reraise. Great pot equity. Usually in this situation, UTG+1 and CO have small pocket pairs, mid suited connectors, etc... I don't think you can assume UTG has you dominated. |

1. A-Js in the BB. UTG limps, button raises, SB folds. -3bet
2. 8-8 on the button. UTG limps, CO raises. -3bet 3. K-Js in the SB. Button open raises. -3bet 4. A-9s in the BB. SB open raises. -call for deception 5. A-10s in the CO. UTG+1 open raises, folded to you. depends on specific reads maybe just call 6. K-Qo on the button. CO open raises. -3bet 7. A-Jo in the SB. UTG raises, folded to you. -call 8. A-Js on the button. UTG raises, UTG+1 calls, CO calls. 3bet/call I usually 3bet any big Ace against a steal and any big ace against a loose raiser. I'm less inclined to 3bet KQs KQo KJs unless it is against a steal because these hands dont have the advantage of Ace high. 88 and better is a 3bet for me as well. |
