I was looking at my 3 bet stat today and was baffled that I was so nitty that I was folding so much to a 3 bet. Therefore, I looked into it some. I am not as nitty as the stat suggested.
I found that the fold to 3 bet stat also includes all the hands that I had not contributed anything to the pot. So if it comes to me 3 bet already and I fold, this is counted as part of the stat. I am not so sure I like this.
Example from today's session. According to the stats I folded to 3 bet 19/22 opportunities for 86%. 14 of these hands had 0 VPIP.
If i look at only the hands where I folded to 3 bet after either raising or calling a raise, I only folded 5 of 8 opportunities or 63%.
It is more meaningful for me to know how often someone folds to a 3 bet after either raising or smooth calling one raise and then folding to a 3 bet.
This is not a huge deal as long as we all completely understand the stats AND the HUD will be configurable so that we can load a stat like the one I want. I really want to know how often those steal raisers are gonna lay down and wimper when I 3 bet them from the blinds with air!
