3 Bet Poker Meaning
Raise 3-Bet and Fold to 3-Bet. Represents the percentage of times the player re-raised a raiser when they had the opportunity or folded when they faced such a re-raise. This poker HUD statistic is most useful during the pre-flop action – then it corresponds only to the possible starting hands and not made ones (for the purpose of clarity: BB is Bet 1, a raise is bet 2 and the re-raise is bet 3). Have in mind, that these indicators require much larger sample to be reliable, as the situation occurs less often – don’t even bother looking at them before you have 1000+ hands on the opponent. Common re-raise range pre-flop is QQ+ and AKo, which corresponds to 2,6% of total hands. You will be amazed how many otherwise good online poker players have a Raise 3-Bet stat of 2,5-3%, which makes them really predictable.
On the other hand we have the Fold to 3-Bet stat, which comes in handy when we have to decide whether to re-raise an opponent – especially preflop.
Poker 3 Betting. The poker strategy in this article is designed for cash game situations, specifically 100 big blind deep. If you create deeper or shallower stacks the ranges and concepts talked. '3:1' or '3 to 1' means that the payoff is 3/1 (or 'three times') the original bet, if it succeeds. Such a payoff reflects the bookmaker's (or counterparty's) belief that the odds of success are less than 1 in 4 (4=1+3) or less than 25%. What Does It Mean in Poker? The term 3- bet is most commonly used to refer to the first re- raise before the flop, although the term also refers to the first re-raise after the flop. Subsequent raises are referred to as 4-bet, 5-bet, etc. A 3 Bet is the term used in poker to describe a specific re raise. A 3 bet is typically made before the flop but can also be performed post flop. It is the third bet on a specific round. The 'float play' is an advanced bluffing technique in Texas Holdem that is extended over two betting rounds. The principle role of the play is to make your opponent believe you have a stronger hand than theirs via the flop and turn betting rounds, and thus closing down the action and winning the pot on the turn.
Examples using Raise 3-Bet
/For sake of simplicity we’ll assume all opponents have stacks of about 100BB/
Full ring table, we have AQ offsuit in MP and raise 3xBB. A player in LP re-raises us 9xBB. Everyone else folds and the action is back to us. What should we do? Let’s look at the stats.
a) VPIP=16 / PFR=10 / Raise 3-Bet=2,75
We are up against a TAG player with seemingly established habits in 3-betting with only the best hands. We should fold as his probable range has us crushed, but you must be careful if your own Fold to 3-Bet percentage is too high, as observant opponents will try to use your tendencies and 3-Bet you more often.
b) VPIP=23 / PFR=18 / Raise 3-Bet=11
This opponent is a little loose and definitely overly aggressive. Let’s analyze his possible holdings and see how they compare to our hand.
He seems to 3-Bet the top 11% of his hands. The top 2,6% /QQ+,AK/ of hands beat us 3 to 1. With the next 3% /77-JJ, AQ/ we tie (55 to 45 in his favor actually) and against the rest about 5% we are ahead 70/30.
The range analysis shows calling as marginally profitable in theory. Don’t forget that this calculation is accurate only in all-in situations with five visible cards, and also the fact that your AQ is not a great hand to play out of position.
In this case you should take into consideration how deeply stacked your opponent is – too aggressive players are often short on chips and present less of a threat. In conclusion, calling here is an acceptable play but you should have a plan how to outplay your opponent after the flop.
Examples using Fold to 3-Bet
/For sake of simplicity we’ll assume all opponents have stacks of about 100BB/
Full ring table, we hold a pair of 9s on the button. A player in MP raises 3xBB, a second player on the CO (the cut-off seat) calls and it’s our turn. Should we call or re-raise? Let’s look at the stats.
a) Player in MP: VPIP=22 / PFR=10 / Fold to 3-Bet=74%
Player on the CO: VPIP=19 / PFR=11 / Fold to 3-Bet=65%
Both players look like TAGs with reasonable Fold to 3-Bet percentages, although maybe a little higher than I’d recommend. The sequence in this hand is interesting because it allows us to make a squeeze play, which increases our folding equity. If we just call, we give the blinds good pot odds to play most hands and against 3-4 opponents we’re basically set-mining the flop. But if we make a strong re-raise of about 9BB, we achieve the following: first – almost certainly we’ll take the blinds out, second – we put strong pressure on the player in MP, who has an active opponent behind him and also has to act first after the flop, third – we show considerable strength against the player on the CO, who has demonstrated weakness by flat-calling the first bet and also is out of position in the hand. Even if we get called, we can hit a good flop of low cards or force a fold with a C-Bet.
b) Player in MP: VPIP=14 / PFR=8 / Fold to 3-Bet=55%
Player on the CO: VPIP=26 / PFR=13 / Fold to 3-Bet=65%
Now the first player is a bit of a nit. He plays quality hands and in result doesn’t have to respect 3-Bets as much. This reduces our chances of forcing him out of the hand. He will probably call if we re-raise, as he may also suspect that we are making a move.
The second player is a little loose and will additionally get proper pot odds if the first player calls (the pot would be 3+3+9+0,5+1+6=22,5BB giving him 3,75/1 to call). There’s a high chance he’ll also pay to see the flop.
Basically a re-raise will only put more money in the pot and won’t bring us any information about the opponents’ hands. Against these players we better flat-call and continue in the hand only if the flop is favorable.
