10nl 88 on BU 3b pre..

^^ exactly. This ties in to the concept of betting/raising a polarized range and calling/getting cheaply to showdown with your middle "fair" hands. So for example you could value 3b your nut hands, bluff 3b stuff like Axs and suited connectors and call with fair hands like AJ, KQ, small pairs, etc

There are two good threads I found about this idea:

Jesus Christ those threads are hard to understand. The half-street AKQ game is probably a better choice since it doesn't involve fucking rocket science.
