Cold Calling 3-Bets Out of Position
This isn’t something I do often, just because you’re basically announcing strength without charging your opponents anything, plus by spotting them position you put them in control of the betting as well. Against good players I almost always 4-bet or fold, usually fold in this spot. Against a monkey with no hand-reading, skills, though, I make exceptions:
