The fact that you posted this shows that you have a very results-oriented mindset in the first place. It's something to keep in mind when you consider your own approach to learning.

As played, part of the point of 3-betting here is to make it -EV for someone to call with a weaker hand by giving them bad implied odds. If you make a weiner raise then he (not to mention everyone else still left in the hand) have great implied odds because of the price and the fact that they know you have a stronger than usual hand and will stack off against them more often.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
