Re: Why 3bet?
C/r costs about the same, does not add value to big pairs, does not punish villain for stealing light and gives him an opportunity to hit.
The thing is, if his steal range is big enough, there are not many hands that dominate us.
If he is tight we pick up the pot preflop say 80% of the time.
If he calls loose, we pick up the pot postflop 2/3 of the time without even hitting it.
And being OOP negates the cases when we dominate his range since we do not control the pot.
