Constructing a linear 3b/fold preflop range
Hi all,
Currently, I have a cold calling range from all position (except SB vs CO/BU where I play 3b/fold), therefore I mostly have balanced (or closed-to I think) polar 3b range. I have a pretty good wr over decent sample size at my current limit (uNL ofc) with this preflop strat, but I feel like I will increase my overall profit if I adopt a 3b/fold preflop strategy due to the high rake at the micros.
The reason I'm posting is I want some help on how to correctly think or what factors/variables to keep in mind when constructing my range e.g. what %age of my whole 3b range should I continue vs 4b (either by calling or 5bjamming) so villain can't profitably 4b bluff me.
Thanks :)

In my polarized 3b range, I continue ~45% vs 4b w/c means I fold ~55% of my range since it is the villain's RFE when he 4b.
So in constructing my linear 3b range, I should also use villain's 4betting RFE to determine my continuing and folding %age right?
Example, villain opens 3bb you 3bet 9 bb, villain 4bets 24 bb.
Villain needs 60% to auto-profit. So if you keep your fold v 4bet around 50% you will be good vs most sizes. This is good to use as a baseline and then go from there exploiting when possible.
yeah I think I got that concept down already and thanks for verifying it ; )
the only thing I want to know now is how wide should my linear 3b range be from different position? obv it's going to be tighter vs UTG/HJ opens and looser vs CO/BU opens...any idea what's the optimal %age?
Ah right yeah that's a good question. Obv when are MP and face a EP open we have 4 positions behind to account for. When they 4bet us we defend differently, we can't call as many 4bets so that effect makes us 3bet a little bit tighter. What the correct %% should be I don't know. But you can probably figure this out when you give all of these positions a proper 4bet range and then do some math
