WPT GTO Trainer Hands of the Week: 3-Betting from The Button

Related Topics: Great Teacher Onizuka

This week we’re highlighting a common spot in a cash game where you 3-bet preflop from the Button vs a Middle Position open raise.

You should have a fairly high c-bet frequency in this spot in general. As the preflop aggressor, you’ll have a range advantage on most boards and can apply pressure with a continuation bet. You should often size down c-bets to 25% of the pot on static flops, since larger sizing is not necessary on flops where the Villain is less likely to connect.

Larger c-bet sizing can be used on dynamic boards with a more polarized range that consists of bluffs with blockers and vulnerable but high equity value hands.
