Dude. This is a public forum. I come to the public forum for public discussion.
Personally, I think it's a little weird. Your account is just created a few days ago and you have very few posts, mostly trying to get people on Skype it seems like. I'm not sure why you're so insistent on using Skype. It was also a little odd the way you immediately offered to help via a different platform just some random stranger wants to connect with me. I mean if you want to coach people via Skype maybe that's a topic for another thread?
It's widely known that Skype isn't the most secure application and having a secure computer is pretty important for me as an online poker player. Can you really blame a poker player for being a bit cautious about what information they share with totally random strangers?
I don't mean to offend, your advice seems legitimate. I'm busy with work anyways, I have one of those schedules where I work all day for half the week, then have a bunch of days off.
Anyways, I hope you see my point about the Skype situation. I'm not saying I'm not open to some coaching but I don't see what advantage Skype offers over this communication or private messages and I'm not sure I'm 100% comfortable providing access to any sort of live play while I'm having a total stranger watch me play.
If the forum is such inefficient communication then why the hell are we on the forum at all?
I feel like you haven't really shown me exactly what advantage Skype can offer over forum discussion and it's all just "OMG GET SKYPE NAO" I mean, if I'm being a total dick here I'm sorry but like I said, can you really blame a poker player for responding this way given all these factors?
I probably know a few Nigerian princes who are equally as annoyed that I didn't Skype them.
Most of the time I don't answer phone calls from people I know, lol.
Anyways...

Good hands to bluff with are suited wheel aces as they have good equity against strong ranges, can flop the nuts and have an Ace blocker, which results in you bluffing into nut hands less often and get more folds. Using your bottom of your calling range that you deem as not profitable to be flatting are goods hands that candidate for a 3bet bluff.
I'm just now getting into learning about more complex topics like range merging / polarized ranges so I don't have a huge amount to say on the subject but I can say that I have been trying to resteal more vs people with a high steal % and 3bet people lighter who have wider opening ranges, and I think that is contributing to my higher 3bet percentage.. and I continue to 3bet them if they keep folding to it.
