I really do not have a flatting range from the SB here. If we were IP then I peel a lot lighter, but I cnt see any advantages to flatting s/c"s against this kind of player. I guess we can set-mine 22-77, but again I would rather 3b for the reasons mentioned above.
Our 3b range for value against hs opening range should prob be 1010+ AQo+. This has around 57% against villains range, so we can actually widen this profitably, but seems good as a default against this player type.
The rest of our 3b range is more speculative, and pretty undefined imo. Its filled with hands that we are just trying to pick up a small pot with.
Really curious about the 3bet bluff option, If your range is
undefined.....
How do you decide if or when you"re gonna be 3 bet bluffing and how do you keep tabs on your frequencies.
Game theorists suggest upto 1:1 value to bluff ratio in balanced 3 betting ranges, your example of 1010+ AQo+ for value is top 4.5% so assuming we don"t have a calling range ( thats a debate all of its own but you make some valid points) we should have a total 3bet range of top 9% = 88+,ATs+,KTs+,QJs,AJo+,KQo
1010+ AQo+ for value88,99,ATs,AJs,KQs,AJo as a bluffusually you would also have a calling range, splitting those two set of ranges and using hands not quite good enough to call with as your bluff range, so total range would look like......
top 4.5% 3 bet for value = 1010+ AQo+ 4.6%-9% Call = 88,99,ATs,AJs,KQs,AJo (not suggesting we call with this range here and its likely a smaller "value:call:Bluff" ratio applies but doubt very much if its 0 for calling, these ranges would of course have to adjust based on effective stack size too.)
9.1%-13.5% 3 bet bluff = 77,A8s,A9s,K9s-KJs,QTs,JTs,ATo,KJo,KQo
