3 betting heads-up

[Mlubin]

I dont run any tracking software so i can't give actual details, but i play at stakes where people dont really take into account the concept of three bet bluffing.

My three betting range is something like this
AA and KK about 65% of the time ( less when i think people will overplay top pairs, and more when i think people are going to float preflop a lot with a wide range)
QQ about 80 percent of the time
JJ 85-90 percent of the time
88-TT almost all the time
AK almost all the time
AQ almost all the time
AJ most of the time
weaker aces is really dependent on my opponent
with small pairs i will 3 bet a lot if i think that it will help me define the opponents range, and i will get a lot of folds, basically when it will make the rest of the hand almost play itself.
67-T9 suited i like to three bet roughly 45-50 percent of the time mostly as bluffs

does this look like a wide enough 3 betting range for low stakes heads up

Generally speaking...3 bet more often with AA-KK, you are slow playing too much. You should also 3-bet semi-bluff more with KT type stuff and 45-50% is way too much with the suited connectors, but you should be 3-betting those as well, as semi-bluffs.

It is not wise though to make hard and fast rules like this. Heads up is about adjustments. You dont want to have one style and play that way all the time versus every opponent...or even to play one style consistently the entire session against the same opponent. Then you become super easy to exploit.

If you are playing a standard donk it might not be a bad thing to go bat shit crazy the first 20 hands or something then sit back and let him pay you off after you show down some trash. Or you might develop an uber tight nitty image for the first 15 minutes then start bluffing him all the time and once he figures this out, go back to your nitty ways and let him pay you off, etc. Keep adjusting and paying attention to not only how you are playing and how he is playing, but how he perceives you as playing and how he thinks you think he perceives you as playing etc etc. Mind games.

those are mostly just generalizations as for numbers im not exactly sure how close those are to right i need to figure out how to install parallels onto my computer to run pokertracker on a mac. obviously i change things around based on the kind of opponent im playing and his tendencies. i will three bet a lot more if my opponent is folding to a lot of c bets.

You should 3-bet a lot more if your opponent is folding a lot to 3-bets. How much they fold to c-bets may or may not be correlated to how they play PF. Lots of people are loose PF and fold a lot post flop or vice versa.

I use a Mac too. If it is a newish one it should come with something called BootCamp that allows you to run Windows. Click the desktop then go Finder > Services > Utilities > BootCamp Assistant

I've switched to Windows a few times and hate it, so I mostly just run OS X now heh

[Mlubin]

is bootcamp better than parallels that runs both xp and osx at the same time, i have an intel based mac so it can run the software to have xp on it .

[Degen]

don't know but i doubt it. it does not run them at the same time. but it is pre-installed on many newer mac's so you wont have to go buy any software
