3-Bet
3-Bet（三次加注）
A 3-bet is the third aggressive action in a betting sequence. Preflop, the big blind is considered the first bet, an open raise is the second bet, and a re-raise is the third bet (3-bet). 3-betting is a crucial weapon both for value (with strong hands) and as a bluff (with hands that have good playability). The size and frequency of 3-bets depend on position, stack depth, and opponent tendencies.
Example
Player A opens to 3bb from the button. Player B in the big blind 3-bets to 9bb.
