Boost Your Winrate With This 1 Easy Trick! ;-P

clickbait jokes aside:

take some of your medium-weak/marginal hands—think the kinda stuff where you’re like “eh, it’s not bad, I should probably just fold but whatever I’ll limp behind”—and include them in your 3betting range at some frequency.

Cool, we won some chips

we never even placed or faced a bet postflop here, and we won a nice pot

observations:
A) we won significantly more than we would have on the same runout in a non-3bet pot
B) more importantly, without 3betting preflop we probably get to check down this hand about 0% of the time. we’ll face multiple opponents instead of just the 1 villain we happened to have dominated, and by the river, SOMEONE will be trying to move us off our equity

yay for 3bets!
