This video explains how to use 3-betting as a powerful tool against weak poker players. It covers when to 3-bet for value vs. as a bluff, how to adjust your strategy based on opponent tendencies, and why position matters. Jonathan Little shows GTO charts for button vs. cutoff and small blind vs. button scenarios, with advice on exploitative adjustments.

3-betting isolates weak players, gives you initiative, builds pots with strong hands, and lets you steal pots through aggression when opponents miss the flop.

Winning Strategies Against Weak Players:

  • Increase 3-betting frequency against players who fold too often to aggression
  • Isolate weak players to play heads-up pots where your post-flop edge is maximized
  • Exploit weak players' tendency to play face-up post-flop (betting with strong hands, checking with weak ones)
  • Adjust your 3-betting range based on opponent tendencies (fold too much vs. call too much)
  • Take advantage of position, especially when on the button
  • Use small bets post-flop to steal pots from opponents who overfold
  • Avoid paying off weak players when they show aggression
