WPT GTO Trainer Hands of the Week: 3-Betting Big From The Big Blind

Related Topics: Great Teacher Onizuka, Blind

This week we’re focused on a cash game spot where you are out of position against a tough player in middle position after 3-betting their open raise from 3BBs to 12BBs from the Big Blind.

Since you are making a large, out of position raise from the Big Blind your range is going to be both very narrow and polarized. This means you will have a significant range advantage over your opponent on most flops, which leads to a high c-betting frequency.
