Have you ever been in a situation at the poker table where you just have no idea what you are meant to do? Well, that occasionally happens to professional poker players, too! While playing in a cash game at The Wynn in Las Vegas, Rampage Poker finds himself in a confusing situation when facing a min-raise on the turn whilst holding trips. Should he call, raise, or fold? He doesn’t know what to do! What would you do?

When you are out of position and playing very deep-stacked poker, you should use larger raise sizes when deciding to 3-bet your opponents. Playing out of position is extremely disadvantageous in poker as your opponent will have much more information about the hand than you will. If you were to play a game of rock, paper, scissors and you had the option to pick last. Who would win that game? You! By using a larger raise size you disincentivize your opponent in calling whilst it also helps you narrow their range when they do call. When the stacks become shallower you then start to use smaller 3-bet sizes out of position since the stack-to-pot ratio (SPR) is much lower than it would be in a deep stacked game.
