Re: How does 5/10 rule apply to 3 bets?
Consider the amount on top.
You have a 1/8.5 chance of hitting a set, round it up to 1/10 cause you're not always gonna stack someone (but in a 3-bet pot, it's much more likely). So for 4.50 you get a 1/10 chance of winning 50. That, sir, is +EV.
(But I have to tell you, it's frustrating to hit set after set vs. shortstacks, then:
You and another guy are playing eff. stacks of 200BB, you raise to 4BB with 33, and he makes his "standard" 3-bet to 12BB, or even 16 or 18BB and you pretty much have to call based on odds. And you never hit. Not ever.)
