This week we’re focused on a typical cash game spot where you’re in position on the Button against a tough player in Early Position after 3-Betting their opening raise.
Your range in this spot is “polarized”, meaning you are 3-betting the early position player with both some of the very strongest starting hands as well as a mix of semi-bluffs including suited combos containing an Ace, suited broadways, and some middle suited connectors. The early position player’s range is much more condensed to just pairs, some suited broadways, and AK. Their range is also capped in this spot and does not include any combinations of AA/KK, while your range can still contain all of those combinations.
