I don't think the 3b is a bluff - it's for value, or at least a pot sweetener. I think he's weak and will call, and I want to get more of chips in. I may be wrong, of course...
well if you're folding to a 4b, it's kind of a bluff if he decides he can 4b bluff you some of the time
plus, you're not a huge favorite against his 3b- calling range
he could decide to 4b bluff his weakest hands and 4b his strongest hands and call with medium strength hands
let's say his 4b is a shove (see the CTS post on this) and you're folding
he does this with 22-66, Axs, QQ+,AK
his flatting range is 78s+,AJ,AQ,KQ,QJs,77- JJ
his folding range is some of his bluffs that he decides to fold, QTs, J9s and other crap like that seems too crappy to call with that he opens from MP
the hands you get "value" from are 78s, 98s, 77, 88
the hands you are crushed by are TT, JJ
the rest are a flip
obviously in this case you'd rather not 3b because his weaker hands bluff your decent hand out
Wait, you're saying a 50nl player who could do even a third of the above analysis would play a non- standard (for him) min- open UTG?
sometimes I misclick the slider and I minraise accidentally
but even if he doesn't decide to 4b bluff you, if he just folds those 4b bluffing hands you're not getting value from much
and the hands you'd prefer to setmine against like AA/KK will 4b you and you will have to fold instead of possibly stacking them for a minraise
