... why the 3bets call defends have to be added to the 14.4%...
Let me see if i got it right...The % depends on the sizing used by the players betting, if i recall from Janda´s book he offers an example and based on that example he determine the optimall defend %.
Now, a linear approach to "defending" this time vs a 3bet can either be byjust calling or by just 4betting but when you take a "balanced" approach you need to add all the posible options on your arsenal to exploit villains 3bet tendencies meaning it can be by either calling or 4betting so if the situation at hand determines we need to defend 14.4% of the time we need to construct a balanced 14.4% range to defend against villains 3bet range, this Defend vs 3bet range has to contain a calling, 4bet for value and 4bet as a bluff and it all depends on villains 3bet range but ultimally our range should be defending against his 3bet 14.4% of the time to avoid getting exploted...Hope this helps
:P
PD1: And this is just based only on mathematical facts about players betting size and doesnt take into account postflop play which obviously is a big factor to consider too.
PD2: Donkr has free for download great stuff about playing 3bet/4bet/5bet pots optimally, u should look for it on google.
