Clarkmeister's sort of...

[StellarWind]

3-bet preflop to remove BB from the hand. It is rarely good to just call a raise from the SB with no one else in the pot yet. You benefit so much from getting heads up with a hand that has showdown value.

It's not Clark's theorem, this is a donk bet.

[Vivalution]

I tried a search but was unable to find anything. What exactly does a donk bet refer to?

Rusted Corpse Theorm:

If there is an EP, MP raise and you're still willing to play AQo, DO NOT COLD CALL. RAISE.

[BottlesOf]

So all that pounding away sunk in finally, eh?

To show strength and/or isolate the open raiser? Or do you 3-bet this in most cases?

It depends on the situation. But when MP3 opens, he is probably raising a wider range than normal, and AQ does well vs that range.


(WOW! A post in which I didnt say 'clutch'!!)
