SB 3-bet defense

[LtJDangle911]

Against your typical blind steal, what range of hands would you 3-bet with from the SB?

[NinaWilliams]

KJo KTs QJs A8o 55+ A6s almost always. K9s KTo JTs QJo+ A7o A5s frequently, but I'll fold them vs tighter steals.

EDIT: It also depends on the blind stucture. Loosen up a notch or 2 in the 2/3 and 3/5 structures,

Noted--thank you!

nina, do you ever call in the sb?

[danzasmack]

with a BB who is like 60/5/.1 or something i call in the SB sometimes.

It's jackpotjerry too because "a donk into 3 players shows a lot more strength"

Tight BB and loose range OTB or bad OTB:

22, A2s, A5o, K7s, K9o, Q9s, QTo, J9s, JTo, T9s, 98s, 87s


Tight BB and a good/tight stealer

44, A5s, A7o, K9s, KTo, QTs, QJo, JTs, T9s, 98s, 87s


A lot of those hands you can call if there is a bad and very loose player in the BB


You also need to tighten up on that range if you dont have a good postflop edge or if the game you are playing in is rake heavy.

rarely. I will with decent multiway hands like T9s 98s with a loose and bad bb.
