WPT GTO Trainer Hands of the Week: Button Call Vs UTG Open

In today’s scenario we find ourselves calling on the Button vs a 3BB raise from UTG in a Cash Game. Since the raise comes from Under The Gun and there is no ante present, ranges for both players are fairly narrow.

There are several important concepts to keep in mind as you play through this spot. Look for opportunities to semi-bluff on turn cards that increase your equity in the pot. These are natural spots to fire the turn and force folds from the more marginal parts of Villain’s hand range.

Always keep an eye out for when you hold nut blockers.
