Question 12

When do we get to backraise in squeezed pots?

Answer 12

• Backraises are most effective if there are multiple 3-bet squeeze callers and you are closing action (to deny several villains from realizing equity)
• You can occasionally flat bad AA vs. a squeeze if the non-squeezers fold and you expect OOP villain to be large on most flops

Question 13

What is the worst thing that can happen to you after 3-betting preflop?

• You get called in multiple spots
• You face a 4-bet
• Your opponent folds when you have a value hand

Answer 13

You face a 4-bet

Answer 14

No

Question 15

Answer 15

No

Question 16

5-8%

Question 17

What percentage of single suited AAxx do we 3bet IP?
- 67%
- 92%
- 100%

Answer 17

92%

It is good to recognize if you are automatically 3-betting every combination of AAxx. Double suited aces get 3-bet 100%, while rainbow is at a 40% 3-bet frequency.

Question 18

Which of the following hand classes, when double-suited, do we not simplify to pure 3-betting when IP?
- 0 and 1 gappers

Answer 18

KKxx with no ace

Question 19

• 74%
• 12%
• 35%
• 100%

Answer 19

74%

Double suited combinations play well as 3-bets from the SB as you will be able to generate robust equity on enough flops to c-bet at an appropriately aggressive percentage.

Question 20

Facing a button open, what percentage of the time should you 3-Bet single suited KKxx from the SB?

• 35%
• 12%
• 82%
• 100%

Answer 20

82%

Question 21

As the initial raiser, when facing a 3bet, do we Call more when we are IP or OOP?

Answer 21

IP

Question 22

Facing a 3-bet as the UTG initial raiser, which position should you 4-bet against least often?

• BB
• SB
• BTN
• HJ

Answer 22

SB

SB has a 3-betting range that is least likely to fold to 4-bets (compared to other 3-betting ranges), which means that you need to restrain your 4-betting frequency against a SB 3-bettor

Question 23

You open on the BTN, SB calls, BB 3-bets. What percentage of the time should you fold to the squeeze?

• 0%
• 5%
• 35%
• 60%

Answer 23

35%

Question 24

CO opens, you call on the BTN, BB 3-bets, and CO folds. What percentage of the time should you flat the AAxx portion of your range as BTN? - 0% - 5% - 20% - 50%

Answer 24

50%

Question 25

Hero opens UTG, HJ calls, and BTN 3bets. What % of the time should hero be folding? - 0% - 10% - 30% - 60%

Answer 25

60% Continuing frequencies when facing a squeeze vary tremendously based on positions. In this particular spot, you should continue quite infrequently, as you are not closing the action preflop, and you’ll be out of position to both villains postflop.
