Default Re: Basic reasons for why reraising SC, PPs is better

Now you can then say "ok, so well call and play back when we miss". Well there is a problem with that too. When we play back light we are OOP and a decent player will be able to take advantage of position enough to make it extremly hard for us. We end up playing big pots when he is storng, and small ones when he is weaker.

I agree with the general context of the post. However, isn't the above also true in a 3-bet pot as well? What I mean by this, is there really a difference between inflating the pot size OOP with mediocre hands preflop and postflop? We are still going to face playback from good players in both situations. The reason we reraise is because stack sizes limit our opponents manueverability postflop. Right? What am I missing?

Your 3betting range includes all sorts of monster hands, where your calling range most likely does not.
