Re: When to 3-bet and when to just call???
LOL at the guy that suggested calling nearly all of them and re-raising none/very few. Dream come true stuff if you are at my table.
For me it's:
1. KQs in BB, 32/24 raises from button
3-bet to hell.
2. JTs in SB, 18/12 raises from CO.....
Easy fold unless the BTN calls and BB will defo call, then I'll call for a multi-way flop.
3. 78s in BB, 24/17 raises from button.....
Fold, 3-bet or call - depends on my 'recent past' at that table and thus my image. I'd probably call or fold more often but sometime I'll semi-bluff raise this and c-bet any flop.
4. KJos on button, 32/24 raises from CO.....
Never call, usually fold, sometimes 3-bet. I'm ahead of his range and have position but I'm not overly enthusiastic about my hand and have nothing invested in the pot. Just not a hand that needs to be played really. If villain had a really bad habit of calling 3-bets with Jx, Kx all pairs, etc then I'd 3-bet but if he calls a king/jack high flop can't be played very fast.
5. 88 on button, 32/24 raises from CO.....
3-bet or call - mainly to mix it up. I sometimes I like to just 'mine' with these hand and sometimes I like to take over with them. It'll depend on other factors at the table and villains post flop traits.
6. AQs on CO, 18/12 raises from UTG.....
Insta-muck. No way am I even going to risk taking a flop aginst a 18/12 coming out from UTG with AQ even when I have position. That is unless I had some other influencing factor to make it correct to call or raise? Perhaps he's terrible post flop or a TOTAL nit vs 3-bets?
7. 99 on BB, 24/17 raises from button....
Same as 88 hand and same reasons/logic
8. 45s on button, 24/17 raises from the CO....
Fold (usually) or 3-bet (sometimes), never call.
