Aside from an opponent hitting a pesky two-outer on the river, or seeing someone bounty hunt your all-in with 83 only to beat your AA, there’s nothing more annoying in poker than continually being three-bet when you’re out of position and raising with hands that are way down in your opening range.

As such, you should want to make sure you’re the person who’s constantly annoying your opponents by putting them in tough spots.

Thanks to PokerStars School, you can develop a linear 3-bet strategy in position.

Killer pre-flop strategy: 3-betting linear in position

In the latest edition of Pete Clarke’s Killer pre-flop strategy series for cash games, he delves into linear 3-betting in position, and how you can build a winning range to do so.

“Linear 3-Betting means building a 3-Bet range from the top down,” he writes. “Starting with AA, we 3-Bet hands in a continuous procession down to the weakest hand we deem good enough to 3-Bet.

“Today, our focus is on playing a 3-Bet or fold strategy from the HJ, CO, and BU that is linear in structure and favours big cards. By tailoring our 3-Bet range around hands with one or more high card, we can use blockers to maximise folds and reduce the amount of the time we get 4-bet.”
