Don't be scared to 3Bet ur strong hands. If u will end up only betting ur monster pockets and 3Bet shoving AK-AQs for over 50BB u may as well be showing ur cards to the other players. Things often won't go the way u'd want it to but that's part of poker. 3Bet to 240-300 and either get it in PF or evaluate flop.

3bet to 240-300?

Wayyyy too much imo. I prefer to 3b between 160 and 190 to keep the hands I crush in rather than just isolate myself to more of a flip range where it is hard to play OOP.

Hi all,

240 to 260 pre is my sizing here, huge pot already and as if people are folding AQ preflop in x$ 180s

sizing with KK+ is...

240-260.
