Database Review

Master three-betting strategies using Poker Tracker 4's powerful filtering tools. This comprehensive guide teaches you how to analyze your pre-flop aggression, identify hand range leaks, review positional three betting decisions, and discover bluff patterns in your database to improve winning strategies.

The video reveals how to properly analyze three-betting using Poker Tracker 4's hand range visualizer and custom filters. Sky Matsuhashi emphasizes understanding each statistic's formula and definition before review. He demonstrates filtering techniques to find mistakes in three-bet hands by position, showing concrete examples of weak hands played incorrectly. The key approach involves comparing actual hand ranges to theoretical ranges, identifying missed squeeze opportunities, and using positional filters to spot inconsistencies. By reviewing hands where you should have three-bet but didn't, players can eliminate costly mistakes and refine their aggressive pre-flop strategies systematically.

Pre-Flop Three-Bet Strategy Breakdown:

  • Use Poker Tracker 4's statistics menu to pull up three-bet metrics. Always study the detailed description and formula for each stat before analysis.
  • Filter three-bet hands by position (button, blinds, cutoff) to identify positional inconsistencies in your hand selection and bet sizing.
  • Find leaks by comparing your actual three-bet range to your theoretical range using Flopzilla Pro to see if you're playing too tight or too loose.
  • Review hands where you should have three-bet but didn't using the hold hand range visualizer to spot missed bluff and value opportunities.
  • Analyze three-bet success rates to understand how often opponents fold—small samples are unreliable, so commit to larger hand volumes first.
  • Study in-position versus out-of-position three-bet plays separately to spot post-flop decision mistakes and continuation bet errors.
  • Filter squeeze opportunities within your three-bet range to find situations where you missed profitable plays over a raiser and caller.
