I was reading “Small Stakes NoLimit Holdem” by Ed Miller to improve my cash game play. There was a nice chapter about 3b and 4b. Ed wrote that you are losing money if you 4b as a bluff only 1 out 4 times if villain has a 3b of 10% or lower. At around 11-12% it's breakeven and villain has to be 3b 13% or more to make occasionally 4b bluffing profitable.

 

He also mentioned that you can't profitably call 3b with pocket pairs just to setmine.

 

Obviously those are all statements for 100bb cash games. I would love to see some similar math or theory on how those concepts translate into MTT play with shallower stacks, antes, smaller raise sizes etc.

 

Maybe Andrew Brokos is best suited for such a video series since he has intensive cash game background and therefore already knows those concepts.
