Calling Three-Bets

I think most players I coach and play against typically call three-bets wider than they should, especially when OOP. I even read a PLO e-book recently that said that when first starting out, you should call three-bets with whatever hands you’re comfortable with. So if I open K♥K♣7♠3♦ on the BTN, does that mean I should just call because I’m “comfortable” with it? I don’t know about you, but just because I’m comfortable with a decision I make at the tables doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily correct. So let’s talk what to look for when calling a three-bet.

Folding Versus Three-bets

There are basically three categories of hands to avoid calling three-bets with. The first are single-paired hands. Previous chapters highlighted how the best hands in three-bet pots are those with smooth equity distributions, and how pairs decrease hand smoothness. Calling a three-bet OOP with these hands is a nightmare, because they possess little post-flop playability, so more often than not you’ll simply bleed money by check-folding whiffed flops.
