Today we’re focusing on a cash game spot where you are out of position against a tough opponent who 3-bet your 3BB Under The Gun open raise to 12BBs from the Big Blind.
This scenario is different from many other scenarios in the fact that you have an uncapped range as the preflop caller. Due to the large 3-bet sizing from the Big Blind you adjust by calling with a higher frequency than default (around 75%) with your big hands such as AA/KK/QQ/AK. Your range is also quite linear consisting mostly of stronger hands and pairs. In contrast, the Big Blind also has an uncapped range, but it is extremely polarized.
