Brad Wilson: ChasingPokerGreatness.com | Poker Pro & Coach
About this episode
THE CAPS ARE LOCKED FOR THIS EPISODE OF THE TACTICAL TUESDAY POKER YOUTUBE PROGRAM.

Alright I can't handle it anymore; I'm going back to normal... and ya' know what else is pretty normal? Getting 3-Bet by the big blind when you decide to stick your poker nose out and open a pot from the small blind.

Those dang big blind villains always think they have the positional advantage until the end of days and they sure do act like it (through their aforementioned 3-Bet privilege).

BUT IT'S TIME FOR THE TURNED TABLES TO ROTATE AGAINST THEM as we explore counter strategies for combatting this position of weakness and turn it into one of your strengths! Welcome to Tactical Tuesday 159!
