WPT GTO Trainer Hands of the Week: Defending Your Button in a Cash Game

Related Topics: World Poker Tour, Pontiac GTO

Today you’ll be playing common spots in a cash game where you defend the Button by calling after a single open raise. In today’s selection the position of the Villain will change after each hand is played while your position remains static.

This means Villain’s range will change from hand to hand as well. Playing against changing Villain positions will give you insight into how the width of Villain’s range can affect your play and allow you to practice these situations in a simulated environment.

Hands like top pair will often be bet for value across all three streets against a Late Position player, but may be checked on one or even two streets against an Early Position player.
