# If you are a player with a 3-bet pot leak

A coaching plan for a player whose 3-bet pot hands keep feeling off and who wants the pattern found in a hand review.

You notice the same kind of hand feeling off in 3-bet pots. This plan finds the pattern through a written and recorded review of your own hands.

## Who this is for

- You notice a pattern: the same kind of hand in 3-bet pots feels off afterwards.
- You keep hand histories or notes, and you can pick out 5 hands where it came up.
- You prefer a written, recorded review you can return to over a live session.
- You want to fix one thing well, not start your whole game over.

## The situation

In 3-bet pots the stacks are shallow compared with the pot, so stack-to-pot ratio shapes every street.

Common trouble spots are calling too wide out of position, continuation bets on boards that favor the other range, and putting stacks in with a hand that is rarely best.

A review compares your line with the range numbers, the equity of each hand and the pot odds on each street.

The aim is to find the one or two spots where the pattern lives, not to rebuild your whole game.

Patterns hide in single hands. Several hands from the same kind of spot show whether a mistake is a habit or an accident, which is why the review looks at them together.

## The plan

The package for this plan is the Hand Review Pack: 5 reviewed hands for $275, with 90 days to send them in. The written review comes back within 5 business days of your submission.

You send each hand as plain text through your account, and the written review returns there.

Pick hands where you would change a decision, or where the line was hard to explain. Include the position, the stack sizes and the action on each street. A note in your own words about what felt off is the most useful part of a submission.

1. You choose 5 hands from 3-bet pots and send them through your account, with a note on what felt wrong.
2. Each hand comes back as a written breakdown: the ranges at each decision, the equity, the pot odds and an alternative line with the reason.
3. One recorded video walks through all 5 hands together and names the pattern across them.

## What you leave with

- A written breakdown of each of your 5 hands.
- One recorded video walkthrough.
- Range charts for the 3-bet spots your hands came from.
- A short drill list built around the pattern the review found.
