Matthew Janda in his 6max book seems to have a much narrower 3bet range of maybe 8% with lots of suited hands .This against players who play optimally I think.

Wonder what your comment on that would be. Can aggressive MTT players play that badly against such wide 3bets ?

thanks

You seem to assume that I am 3betting all of those hands all of the time, which is certainly not the case. I 3bet the good hands almost all of the time and the weaker hands sporadically. I doubt you can get away with 3betting LAG players with 22% of hands. Also, there is a bit of additional value in 3betting in tournaments because people need to conserve their stacks compared to in cash games.

OK thanks.
Just trying to improve at MTTs.
In fact the last live tournament I played I resolved to give myself the option of 3betting ATC after the player on my right kept stealing thus preventing me from stealing when in good position.

Is it a bad idea to read V.3 before the first 2 volumes? I'm really looking to go over a lot of sample hands as part of preparation for an upcoming tournament. V.1 & 2 are on my reading list, as I mentioned a few posts up. But I've been busy with other things and haven't yet been able to dedicate the time for those.

No definitely not necessary,,,Book 3 is analysing hands and can be read on its own.

Feel free to read Vol 3 first if you are looking for lots of hand example. Also check out my most recent hand example book, The Main Event with Jonathan Little.

I am unsure. I suggest you contact the publisher. I would link you but I don't think 2+2 mods will let me.

Janda also has the bluff raises. What they are is a matter of details one can understand and work better.

I think the vol 1 added nicely to super system that ends sort of to the flop. And even before those the micro book, just to mention. More exploitives also compared to the technical and detailed janda book, that stuff partly is in this vol 1 also.

But all in all i am okay now to think the old and new way is now completed in my knowledge and will read up to only more detailed texts in form of histories and possibly combinations in the future but need to digest my new learning all in full first and integrate exploitive with the technical and experience.

The sample hands would help me to think more, even when i play partly differently, and maybe the cash game book as i read it is supposedly good and detailed instead of my wild guess of being some cash hands played by a tournament player, and i am not focusing on tournaments for longer time.
