+1. At 1/2, if someone is open raising to $15 (which is common), that plus rake means you basically don’t even have an investment. So you can basically play 3 bet or fold strategy from the big blind, 3 bet when you have a value hand and fold when you don’t. That’s the way to exploit people who bet too big anyway: you lose a little bit of value a lot of the time because you have to make tight folds, but when you have a good hand, you get tons of value.
Like think about it, online with $300 in front, dude raises to like $4.50 and your three bet is $18. Live, this 3 bet OOP is $60. 20% of your stack. Makes postflop Easy and makes preflop incredibly profitable.
