How often each seat 3-bets each open
Each row is the seat with the decision, each column the seat that opened, everyone between having folded. The figure is the share of all hands that re-raise.
Three charts in full
The same decision from three places: with position on the opener, from the small blind, and closing the action in the big blind.

The rest of the 40bb charts
Every seat's page has its opening range, its chart against each open, and what it does when its own open is re-raised.
What these charts assume
- Eight players, each with 40 big blinds.
- Blinds of 0.5bb and 1bb, and the big blind posts a 1bb ante for the table.
- Opens are to 2bb, and to 3bb from the small blind, the only seat that may limp.
- 3-bets are to 6bb in position, 7bb from the small blind and 8bb from the big blind (11bb against a small blind open). Any raise may be all-in.
- Each chart is one line: a single raise, with every seat between it and you folded. Lines with callers and squeezes are in the trainer.
- Chip EV. ICM is not modelled, so near the bubble or at a final table, play tighter.
- Pots that see a flop are valued with a model built from postflop solves. No seat can gain more than 0.001bb a hand by playing differently.
Now play it
A 3-bet range is easy to read and hard to play at speed. The trainer deals you these spots one hand at a time and prices each answer in big blinds.
