i left nl100 feeling extremely comfortable with playing in position with a wide range against any player and any range. i played around 30/20 vpip/pfr.

@ nl200 i'm getting 3 bet to hell. getting 3 bet by the button when you are utg is such a tough spot.

alot of these pots are now 3 bet pots and i guess it will take time before i grow completely comfortable in 3 bet pots.

a weird spot that keeps coming to me is when BU or CO opens and the SB 3bets and I have like TT/JJ/AQ in the bb. i remember 4 bet bluffing somewhat regularly at nl100 but it seems as though these hands are a little to strong to 4 bet bluff but not strong enough to just flat and play oop. just wondering what you guys do here.

also i'm getting 3 bet alot when i open utg from certain buttons and it is hard to keep track and identify a range for them. i mean i know it's their right as they have position on me but is there no other adjustment than to narrow my range? i feel like incorporating 4 bet bluffs is the only answer but it is some what difficult to play enough hands and have solid enough reads to 4 bet bluff without getting reshipped by the nuts.

even though there's something to be said for learning how to play vs aggressive players and improving your game...if you're just moving up, i'd probably just leave the table for now if some faggot keeps 3-betting you and it's making you uncomfortable about your game.

but yeah other than that, counter to light 3-betting is either tighten up or 4-bet lighter and get into spew wars with the spewy regs, if you choose the latter get ready for the variance train.
