odd, I'm really bad at searching apparently because I can't find any math on 3-bet sizing/3 bet scenarios at all.

SPR.
Using the search criteria "3bet AND size OR sizing", I found this in about 9 seconds:

3bet sizing

The thread is an idea about 3betting smaller amounts, which obviously gives one an idea of what the "normal" sizing is. The conversation is started by Vi and joined by Goat, Miffed and Ash, all of whom know WAAAYYYY more than me about big pot poker.

Ragnar, IDK what the deal is. Hope you're leveling.
@ spenda. No not a Genious, a lot of shit has just come easily. I'm just pissed because you're in charge of something and have a hard time being nice about it. Lot of people look at you like a teacher, and are surprised when you don't act like one. I'm one of them.

@ Robb. That's cool, I appreciate it, there seems to be in that article a good discussion about 3 betting lightly and its effects on your opponent. But what I can't find, and I've tried to find, and I'll try to find it again I guess is this: The "Standard" 3-bet size, the math behind the standard, and why 3.5 is fine, but 4.0 is something that Spenda will argue is such an egregious mistake (give it a few seconds, Spenda's got to look the word up).
3.5 IP and 3.0 OOP seems like pretty solid advice. I've started trying to 3-bet my opponents more lightly, because I notice that I just about never get called when I 3-bet. I either get popped back (rarely) or my opponents fold (most often).
