startin' to feel like a broken record. maybe i should start a thread about this sometime when i'm not working 3 jobs and don't have time to start BC threads...

the biggest factor for whether or not you should 3b preflop for value is if they are continuing with dominated hands. arguments for 3b'ing for value that don't quite make the cut include:

-ZOMG I HAZ AK!
-lol balance at the micros
-you should only 3b EP openers with AA suited
etc.

fwiw, the second most important factor is prolly the reads you have on players left to act.
