3betting polerized vs depolerized
Iv'e recently been looking into why people 3bet and in the micros it seems that most people 3bet depolerized , and i think this leads to a'lot of problems for beginners when 3betting hands like AJ AQ AK KQ TT JJ vs unknowns when they have no good reads on villains continue range.
Although 3betting AJ vs an unknown may be immediately profitable by picking up the dead money , i believe it can be more profitable to call with these hands untill you have a good idea what they continue with rather than turning them into bluffs.
Im starting to 3bet far more polerized vs unknowns QQ+ for value
,A9s-A2s,KTs-K5s,QTs-Q7s,J9s-J8s,A9o-A6o,KTo-K8o,QTo-Q9o as bluffs , My bluff range all include hands that have good high card value and or suited/strait value, that will be easy to play postflop. And then i can call and defend hands like TT JJ AK AQ AJ KQ, the main problem hands in 3bet pots untill i have better information on villains.
As i gain further reads on villains i can start to depolerize and begin adding more 3bet value hands to include JJ AK AQ AJ vs villains that have a tendency to call to wide , or add more buffs vs villains that fold to much to 3bets.
I was wondering how other people go about tackling unknowns in 3bet pots , do you think starting off polerized to gain reads is better than starting off 3betting marginal or troublesome hands for value. Does the stakes you play change the way you 3bet ? I play 6max micro stakes.
thanks.
