📚 3-Bet Fundamentals

What is a 3-Bet?

A 3-bet is a re-raise preflop. The blinds are the first "bet," an open raise is the second, and a re-raise is the third — hence "3-bet."

Why 3-Bet?

For Value: Build pots with premium hands.
As a Bluff: Win pots immediately with fold equity.
For Position: Isolate weaker players.

Value 3-Bet Range

Premium hands you always want to 3-bet for value.

QQ+, AKs, AKo

Bluff 3-Bet Range

Hands with blockers and playability that work as bluffs.
