Get ready for the 3-bet
Moving forward
The new version of Poker Evolver is now ready and under testing. It contains the features I mentioned in the last post as well as some optimizations that have also been made. It will be released soon.
While the new version is under testing, the next version is already under development too. Because 3-bet stats have been asked quite often, we will now add some of those. The stats will probably be:
- 3-bet% at pre-flop
- fold to 3-bet% at pre-flop.
Some other features will also be added, like the possibility to select what stats are shown in the HUD.
About 3-betting
3-betting means third bet/raise action on a street. On pre-flop this means a re-raise after the first raise. On later streets 3-betting means a re-raise after a bet and a raise.
When 3-bet stats are useful? Imagine that you are playing 6-handed No-Limit Hold’em from the big blind. All other players have folded and the player on the button raises. Small blind folds. You have A9o, what should you do?
You look at the statistics of the raiser. His pre-flop raise% is 35% and his fold to 3-bet% is 75%. You should now re-raise (3-bet) because the player on the button raises too much and will fold most of his hands. When he doesn’t fold you can be almost sure that he has a very strong hand.
