Strategy	Explanation
1. 3-bet bluffing is effective in late position (LP).	When in position with deeper stacks, players should defend 75% of the time against a 3-bet.
2. Open fold if short, raise if in early or middle position (EM).	This is critical in managing your stack effectively.
3. Consider opening with weak pocket pairs in favorable positions.	You can exploit opponents who are likely to fold.
4. May sometimes use 20% PFR (Open Raising).	This range can be adjusted based on position and table dynamics.
5. Use a higher percentage of your stack with deep play.	Take advantage of your opponent's weaknesses in deep stacks.
6. Open-raise a tighter range in early position.	Select stronger hands to avoid marginal spots.
7. Variance management is vital.	Understand the swings and adjust your emotional state accordingly.
1. Overfold to river all-ins.	If opponents overfold 20% vs. C-bet, just double barrel more.

3. Don’t get sticky when facing a 3-bet pot.	Avoid overcommitting your stack with weak hands.
4. Open folding from the button with 18-20% pots.	Keep a balanced approach to opening ranges.
