Q6s is not nearly so marginal threehanded bob

wait, why is 3handed on the button different than 6handed on the button? what adjustments do you make preflop with your range?

I've heard this many times and on some level I believe it, but here's the problem as I see it...3 handed your opponents are playing a lot more hands, the BB is basically never folding for one bet preflop and the button might raise in the dark (this is how some people play 3 handed not saying what is right). Because of this you clearly need to expand your range of hands to defend with or 3 bet with out of the SB just for pure value and so you won't get run over. If we need to therefore play more hands ourselves, doesn't it make sense to play as many of them as we can on the button?

Are you guys saying that the proper 3 handed strategy is to play the button just like you would when folded to you in a full game, but then play tons of hands in your blinds (because the other guys will play maniacally on their buttons)? This strikes me as difficult, the positional advantage is huge.

So yes, I play more hands on the button 3 handed than I do 6 handed or at a full table.
