"In Texas Hold'em, ""bet"" means to place a wager, and ""3bet"" refers to the third bet in a sequence. The third bet does not necessarily mean it's the third person to bet; rather, it signifies that someone raised your initial bet, and you are re-raising them. This is referred to as a ""3bet,"" usually indicating the second raise in the betting round.

Let's illustrate this with an example:

Suppose you are in the cutoff position, and before the flop, you called the big blind's chips. After everyone else folds, it's the button's turn to act, and they decide to raise. You believe you have a strong hand and want to re-raise them. This re-raise you make is called a ""3bet."" (Why not a ""2bet""? Because your raise is, in fact, the third bet in the sequence: the blinds constitute the first bet, the button's raise is the second, and your re-raise is the third.)

Similarly, if after your 3bet, another player re-raises you, it would be referred to as a ""4bet,"" and so on, indicating the number of raises in the sequence."
