Since i run terrible the last days i was trying to find some leaks to improve my game.

I made a 2 table session trying to see how different things work out.

1. How often should you 3 bet on micro stakes Nl20€ ( Nl 30$)
3 Betting preflop could obviously be a good source of money income ... otherwise at higher stakes there wouldnt be so much light 3 betting.

in a small 207 hands session i 3 bet 16 times preflop.
I got called by the original raiser 9 times ( 56% )
I won the pot with a big continuation bet on flop 3 out of the 9 times.

So overall i won the pot 7 times preflop = + 5,60 euro
I won it 3 times on flop = + 9 euros
I lost it 5 times on flop wheres 2 times i check/fold and 1 time i won vs midstack = ~ - 16 euros

so overall first impression is that 3 betting light preflop doesnt really have a big influence on how much youre winning.

sample size is really small though and i will continue to do research on that.

2nd stuff was 3 beting Flop or turn when the board seems dangerous and i have the feeling villain is not an agressive player.

this might actually be a real goldmine though you have to be really careful vs which villians u do it.
Its absolut horror for u if u do it vs stations !
u can only do this vs tight "regulars" who play abc poker 19/16/3
but it works kinda good vs them.

another leak is that i overplay play AK preflop.
I tend to call all-ins and or shove over 3 bets way too much and end up vs KK AA almost always.
from a mathematical point of view at micro limits this is just bad.
when people 3 bet they have QQ KK AA AK and that is 98% sure on NL20€ ( Nl 30$)
so i am either totally fucked or have a coinflip ...

would be nice if someone can explain to me , why 3 betting light is so good on higher stakes and if there is a chance u can apply this on lets say Nl50$

it's good cause it tilts the shit out of people and most people suck when playing 3-bet pots to begin with.

Because many players at those micro stakes won't give u credit for any hand. They saw Daniel Negreanu calling down 3 barrel bluff with K high on HSP (or any other show)and now they think that they will be as cool as he is.. :-. I think that 3betting light starts to be good first at NL100 (at least on PS).

But yeah, as DustySwedeDude said, it tilts the shit out of ppl

btw lol @ 207 hands sample :-)

translation: "the AJ original raiser thinks you have QQ KK AA AK when you 3bet with 67"
