Default Re: NLTRN guidelines for 3-betting or calling 3-bet pf?

I think this is a reasonable range to confuse your opponents . You may be able to do even better if you add any two random cards into the mix . However , it's important that you do this with the right frequency against THAT particular opponent .

ie , if an opponent will fold 50% of the time against your 3bet , then you can profit(or break even) from this play with any two cards !!

Button(villain) raises to 3bb , hero re-raises to 10 bb's and wins one fourth of the time when called (for simplicity , neither player puts in a single dime on the flop)

EV(hero) = 4*1/2 + 1/2*[11*1/4 - 9*3/4] =0 which means you break even .

This play can success with any cards . In fact , if you have this information on this player , then you may be able to exploit him by re-raising with 7-2 as long as he will fold to your 3 bets 50% of the time .

**Warning**

At some point your opponent will catch on and he will start to call your re-raises more liberally .
