ive been playing poker for a while now, and this is probably the most common term i don't know the meaning of.

What is a 3bet? I gather its 3 times the pot or something similar?

on the flop, its HU between me and you.

I act first.

I bet 10.

You raise to 25.

I 3-bet to 45.

You fold.

I show rags.

Smithers, use the amnesia ray.
You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.

most commonly used in limit poker,where the betting amounts are set. In NL people will just say "he re-raised to $50" because it matters a lot if the guy min raised you, or raised you AI

it's a limit term that many people (myself included) use for NL to sound cool, or something like that.

It's just the 3rd bet on a given street, completely independent of size. So a reraise on the flop, turn, or river would constitute a '3-bet.'

Preflop tricks a lot of people because technically the blind is the first bet, so a raise would be a 2-bet, and the second raise would be a 3-bet (like the other streets). Just assume the big blind is the first bet and everything is simple.
