Good response but the bolded text is something I want to comment on.

I actually prefer simply calling rather than three betting from the button a lot of the time, since like you said I have a positional advantage and I can use that to exploit them, particularly if deep stacked. IF we are playing a cash game with only 100 BB stacks, In a 3 bet pot, if you're called and then CB, your opponent only move is usually to push or fold, or make a raise which essentially commits himself.... thus I believe you give up a lot of your positional advantage by three betting since most of the action will be settled right then and there on the flop. I certainly like to three bet a ot on the button still, but I've found calling in position to be quite profitable as well....

Im much more likely to three bet OOP (from the blinds for example) to compensate for the fact that I will be OOP for the remainder of the hand
Comments?
