3-betting weak players utg opens.

Results 1 to 2 of 2

    Default 3-betting weak players utg opens.

    I think there is the problem with relying on statistics too much.

    I have seen a player play too many hands and bet into pots with some junk. BUT, his PFR reads 7% after 30 hands. So I choose not to 3bet my JJ on the button. Probably the line i'd take vs a nit/tagg who raises utg+1.

    By not 3-betting, i'm letting the sb and bb in cheaply (he only opened 3x) and while he's only raised 7% in 30 pf, he's still probably opening a wide enough range to 3bet JJ.

    In the HH below, i think i prefer 3betting a daft player. If he opens to $1, I still like the 3bet but not as much. Even though he only opens 7% in 30 hands.

    Just wondering what you think?

    NB sb and bb are fairly weak loose passive. (16-20/5 ish).

    it only matters if he would fold 88, 99, TT to a 3b since you do OK vs. his raising range with JJ
