hmm I'm not entirely convinced. I definitely think 3betting the button >>> 3 betting the sb.

I agree that 3betting kind of negates alot of the positional advantage we have. We miss alot of opportunities to scoop up blank cbets from the sb. This is the biggest problem I see with it. (this is slightly overcome if villain starts calling your 3bet lightly and then folding the flop. You'd be surprised how much this actually happens in bvb situations)

But that said, villain's range is so wide in a bvb scenario that any flop for me looks bad (obviously unless I flop a set). In this regard it's different from a typical set-calling situation, because in those instances villain's raising range isn't quite so wide.

What happens then is that I need to float alot, but his range is so wide that it becomes difficult to distinguish what a good floating board is.

I don't think there's really anything wrong with calling, but I just play alot better in hands when I have the initiative. Add to that all the other reasons that have been listed to 3bet with a low pp, and I guess it just works for me. Maybe it's not ideal though...perhaps I'll go a few thousand hands with calling and see how it goes.

That said, if you had QJ or KJ in the bb, and it's folded to the sb who raises...I'm curious, how do you play it?
