I recently wrote an article in which I studied the bet sizing used by players at the final table of the series-ending $100,000 buy-in Poker Masters tournament held last month at the ARIA Resort & Casino. I noticed that the players' bet sizing in this event was significantly different from the sizing typically used in the small stakes games I play.
Last week, I discussed how to determine when it is a good time for a river overbet and how to construct your range when doing so. This week — again using the betting at the Poker Masters as a starting point to guide the discussion — I want to look at preflop three-betting.
