"Firstly, we need to understand that pocket threes are essentially speculative or speculative hands, as they are waiting for a set or, in other words, waiting for a hidden three-of-a-kind.
The probability of hitting a hidden three-of-a-kind on the flop is roughly 12%, meaning that for every set of seven and a half attempts, you can expect to hit a hidden three-of-a-kind once.
Therefore, when hitting a hidden three-of-a-kind, it is crucial to ensure that you can win at least 7.5 times the pot to offset the losses when not hitting the set.
However, since we cannot control the actions of our opponents, we cannot guarantee how far they will play with us or whether they will go all the way.
Hence, it is essential to ensure that both ourselves and our opponents have an ample number of chips. This provides a sufficiently large implied odds to cover the cost of our calls.
Here's a coaching tip for you, also known as the twenty-times rule: If the opponent's chip stack is 20 times or more the amount they raise, it is reasonable to call with pocket threes. Otherwise, it is often better to fold and wait for a better opportunity.
We should adhere to this rule until the implied odds significantly rise due to special circumstances." |
