So i was looking into the preflop advisor offered by poker snowie and noticed that it doesnt open most suited gappers in the CO however it says you should call 3bets in the CO w/ almost all suited gappers...this doesnt really make sense anyone able to explain this?

also it doesnt 3b suited connectors from the blinds (more focus on suited Aces)...thoughts on that? i think it should be a mix of some suited connectors and some suited aces

It's saying "if you opened [suited gapper], call vs 3bet".
I'm not vouching for snowie's strats/methods, but if you sim a hand to get its EV, and it's an open fold, you're going to also have the info for what to do if you didn't fold it (because you'd need that info to be able to determine it was better as a fold)

Better to ask these Q's in the main snowie thread (just use the search function). Gl.

Difference between 3bing and flatting in the BB with a lot of hands is similar. You just want to be polarized vs btn/co with your 3betting. So how you choose your 3b range is up to you.

I'm a fan of a lot of fixed freq 3bing with multiple hands.

If you play against snowie as he was just another 6m reg and don't try to exploit him explicitly based on his program he does pretty well, and his preflop/flop game is his strongest. Turn/river weakest.

I have been using a very polar 3 betting range for a while now in all situations but I JUST got on board w; 3 bet polarized if villain is likely to 4 bet or fold (mostly regs when they are OOP) and depolarize 3 bet range when villain is likely to call a lot (eg; I'm bb vs fish or reg LP open)

I see a lot of merit in both approaches, seems polarizing is a pretty good idea because it allows you to continue w more hands but also seems to make sense to 3 bet value heavy and linear if you expect villain to flat a lot.

Does snowie recommend polarized 3 bet from blinds vs Bttn open?

Is that the consensus?

Snowie simulated billions of hands to work out their average EV. So it might find that 64s isn't a profitable open in the CO overall, but if it is opened, then it should call the 3-bet, because that's better than folding. (Small suited connectors tend to do pretty well in position against the "high cards" of the raiser.)
The Snowie recommendations are akin to a forum hand analysis reply that says "Fold pre. As played, call the 3-bet".
It's mostly linear. The 3-betting ranges for the blinds vs the BTN look a lot like a typical 6-max UTG opening range. i.e. it's mostly hands that play well OOP as the raiser when called by someone in position. Blockers are important, as is equity against the typical calling range, obviously.

Snowie ranges are against snowies. I am not sure it doesnt open or cold call, or 3b, most one gappers from 1B, and it would not be the 1st time it has changed its strategy. You might or might not, and you might or might not call a 3b as loose in position just against anyone, also considering how he plays postflop. There is just so much more to it than being a snowie and playing against snowie.

I think I open next to all suited one gappers from 1B, but it doesnt mean I will call or not call a 3b with it, and I am not bothering absolutely about the positions as that is a bit silly. Snowie at least the last I saw, likes making moves with aces, because of removal. It is general strategy. Not sure it is happy to 3b out of position with suited rag aces but vs mini open raise, snowie being snowie. It considers position, not sure if simulated but so it is said but you can consider stuff yourself also.

I am not a fan for dominated rag 4bets, and less so oop. It being mostly removal in many cases. Snowie on a lot of situations preflop improved over janda and I took the best of both and changed them a bit for myself, plus I adjust. A lot of stuffs are just so close it is not worth bothering too much about, and I dont mind having ranges not used by everyone.

This is super important. When you're opponents are worse than you, you can open your range a ton. At pretty much any level you can get away with raising suited gappers from the cutoff and 3 betting regular suited connectors.

Calling 3bets with suited-gappers and even suited connectors is something I would actually advise against at middle and lower stakes. Players just don't 3bet wide enough for you to rely on semibluffing opportunities at that level. At higher levels calling 3bets with SCs is pretty standard.

Hello
Has anyone bothered inputting pokersnowie preflop ranges [all scenario] into excel?
I have some dynamic excels with ranges and calculations on the fly.

It would be helpful for studying and training as the browser based UI pokersnowie provides is a bit awkward.

Can you send me these excels? Would help me so much

It's also to do with frequencies . If you open all one gappers then you are opening a wider range and opponents can 3bet that range more etc
