Along these lines, we’re really going after some low-hanging fruit for the players who aren’t sure about opening up their pre-flop 3-betting. The main point is that I want to start with really simple ideas that are easy to execute so that you can start putting them into practice right away.
My goal with this discussion of 3-betting in this week’s article and last week’s is to focus on that 20 percent that really gives you a solid foundation to start with. The Pareto Principle tells us that 80 percent of our results come from 20 percent of our effort. This week, we’re going to look at how to decide which hands to 3-bet before the flop for value and why. We’re going to continue this theme this week with more on 3-betting.
We focused primarily on how new players could start to open up their 3-betting without feeling like they were getting in over their heads. In last week’s edition, we looked at some very simple basics for 3-bet bluffing before the flop.
