Question---3-betting in position

I've read that your 3-bet should be around 4 x the pfr. If someone between you and the pf raiser calls, do you increase your 3-bet to 5x or bump it even higher to 8x if you want to isolate to just one caller? Not 3-betting light here, but for value and isolation. Maybe the best way of asking this is "What's the best 3-bet to get one caller?"

Whether you get one caller or not has more to do with the tendencies of the players behind you than your 3-bet size. A pot-sized 3-bet is 3x+1 +the amount of the blinds, that or 3x+1 is pretty normal. If people are flatting your 3-bets wide, you can widen your value 3-bet range to include hands like AQ+, AJs, KQs, TT+, hands that still dominate their calling range. Just don't automatically turn your hand into a bluff when you miss the flop just because you 3-bet pre.

It depends on stacks, player stats, ect. Post a hand where you 3 bet and we can go from there.

It depends on so many things. And 4x or 3xing is a "default" play. If you have reads definitely adjust. You'd really have to give us some HH or specific examples.
