Against players that over-defend it is better as well! When you 3x a good range from the SB, you will be in a great position against many players. A lot of players will defend far too wide, because they always suspect a steal and they don't want to be bullied. They defend against SB opens as if the SB opening range was as wide as a button opening range... and then they continue on far too many flops.

But please, let me just say how glad I am to be able to discuss poker on this level here on Steemit. It is a breath of fresh air! I'm very grateful for your contributions.
