3-bet or fold (poker)

Also: 3-bet-or-fold

Poker term

A strategy with no calling range: only 3-bet or fold.

It is standard from seats guaranteed to be OOP, like the SB, and in high-rake games. Calling leaves you OOP with a weak range, so if you play, take the initiative. Example. In the SB against a BTN open to 2.5bb, you 3-bet A♠ K♦ and fold K♠ 7♦. The same goes when an aggressive player sits behind you.
