Otherwise, you're opponent can just 3-bet you with a polarized range knowing that you'll either 4-bet or fold, which makes his/her preflop decision very easy. Dont become one of them.Ĭlick to expand.In many cases, you should have a calling range v a 3-bet even if you're OOP. as you wont make enough to cover the losses you will have. With 30BB the same call would be an error. If your raise early on and have 9Ts and are deep you can call. Make sure the math for the call is correct but take it slowly. Look for hands with play-ability to start with. A guy who just doubles your bet you can call wider but someone who 5x you raise you should fold way more tightly. Honest or bluffs a lot, passive or aggressive. Then comes the question is what type of player is he post flop. Some Maniac and very tight with there 3 bet range and I have seen a NIT with a higher 3 bet range than you would think. Is he a Nit or a maniac or somewhere between. Then there is the player you are against.
OOP is a disadvantage where calling IP is better for you. The answer is ' It depends'ġst of all calling a 3bet OOP is not a great move. That is part of the problem and dun of poker.
The problem is there is not a simple answer.
