    I'll work on those steps and will present what I come up with here.

    Is the % of bluffs I want in my 3bet range entirely down to me or should other factors influence this?
    It more or less comes down to how exploitable you want to be and how much you're trying to exploit your opponent.

    As a general rule, a balanced strategy in no-limit hold'em will have about 2/3 of your 3-betting range as bluffs. If you think your opponent is calling down more than he should, then you'd want to bluff less than that to exploit him. Along similar lines, if you think your opponent is folding a lot more than he should, then you'd want to bluff more than that.

    If you're going to be out of position, then you might want to bluff a little less as a general rule, but that's mostly just because your bluffs (really semi-bluffs) that get called and see a flop will have less value than if you acted last.

    Edit: I went and found a couple of related items from my strategy column:



    I might work out an example later if I get time.
