His fold to 3bet is still dependent on what his opening range is to begin with, as if he is only opening 20% of hands (and thus continuing with all) he would have a FT3 of 0%. But if he's opening with say 50% of hands, and continuing with 20%, he's folding 30/50 or 60% of the time.
    Sorry if i'm being dense here, Stacks, but the maths here doesn't make sense to me.

    If we are talking about fold-to-3Bet frequency, then if Villain is continuing in 20% of spots that his raise is 3Bet, by definition, he's not continuing (i.e. folding) the other 80%.

    Regardless of his opening range.

    I agree that we need to take opening range into consideration when thinking about his 4Betting and Continuing ranges, and that the strength of Villain's opening range is going to have a direct correlation to his continuing frequency, but i don't get your calculation at all.

    Can you go over it again, plizz?
