I know allot of you guys have a problem with the way I play by remarks to some of my posts, but, here goes anyway.
I play a ersion of the 3-bet style above. I 3BB bet most playable hands with exception to the premium QQ, KK, AA, & AKsuited with which I usually 5BB bet.
My theory is that playing SNG's and MTT's primarily I don't want to go bust. Not to say that I don't want to win the most money I can from my good hands, but, let's look at this example.
Example 1
preflop...........
Hero bets 3BB
Villain 1 calls
Villain 2 calls
(12BB in pot)
flop........
Villain 1 checks
Villain 2 checks
Hero bets 3BB
Villain 1 calls
Villain 2 calls
turn.........
(21BB in pot)
Villain 1 checks
Villain 2 bets 5BB
Hero bets 15BB
Villain 1 folds
Villain 2 calls
(41BB in pot)
river...........
Villain 2 checks
Hero bets what? We can easily pot this bet here and show dominance or we can flip them over. (We have controlled the betting throughout)
Example 2
preflop...........
Hero bets 3BB
Villain 1 calls
Villain 2 calls
(12BB in pot)
flop........
Villain 1 checks
Villain 2 checks
Hero bets 12BB
Villain 1 folds
Villain 2 calls
turn.........
(24BB in pot)
Villain 2 bets 5BB
Hero bets 29BB
Villain 2 calls
(75BB in pot)
river...........
Villain 2 checks
Hero bets what now? (We have now overinflated the pot and don't have many options either flip or go all-in)
Now this is assuming that both players start with approximately 100BB. In example 1 we have commited to the pot 21BB in example 2 we commited 44. Some will argue that we don't want people to chase us to the river, but, I would much rather build the pot gradually and be able to dump my hand if needed. I still am able to gather information on my opponents and I was never in jeopardy of having to decide wheter I wanted to risk my hole stack or not.
The only exception is if it is a ery loose table I will change the preflop raise to 5-7BB. I then 3x's bet nearly all raises. I will rarely push all-in unless I have the nuts.
Obviously there are a ton of ariables that play into this. But, this is my standard style of play. I don't mind letting my opponent chase the river as long as the board is not scary.
OK guys tear this apart.
