When we’re 3-betting linear, we will never favour a weaker hand over a stronger one.
It might look like or in another spot it might be tighter and exclude the weaker hands in that range. What’s the difference? Linear Rangesģ-Betting with a linear range means 3-betting AA and then all of the hands weaker than AA down to a certain hand which is deemed too weak to 3-Bet. How does the sort of range we’ll be 3-betting affect the sizing we should choose? And how do we determine the shape of our 3-bet range in the first place? Range ShapeĪ 3-Bet range might be linear or it might be polarised. Let’s focus on this less discussed factor today. Position is one of them and range shape is the other. We have all heard about 3-betting bigger out of position and smaller in position, but there are two factors in the theory of 3-betting which affect how big we should go.
