3 betting

[Rahul P Gopal]

What should I consider before 3-betting preflop in live cash games?

You need to consider if you are 3 betting for value, or 3 bet bluffing. If its for value then go for as much as you think they will call. If you're bluffing with weaker parts of your range, then don't do this against calling stations.

Also consider your position and size up if your OOP when the original raiser calls

There are lots of nitty people on low stake cash games. You can get away with 3 betting lighter, while being very cautious about 4 bets

Understood. I mostly experience people go all-in (especially during tournaments) when I 3 bet or call their 4 bets.

So if you want to start 3 betting lighter what type of hands should i consider 3 betting other than premiums?

In my personal experience, I would say if you are not value betting for 3 bet, it should be done based on the table situation and individual players. This way you can probably make the bluffs to fold if not they will 4 bet or go all in in which case, you will have to fold obviously 😌
