WPT GTO Trainer Hands of the Week: Heads Up Play on Shallow Stacks

Related Topics: World Poker Tour

This week you’re playing heads up for the win in a tournament. As you play these hands, you will alternate being in the Big Blind seat and on the Button and will mimic the game flow of heads up play. Be sure to recognize which seat you are in before taking action.

With only 15BBs in the effective stack preflop, this is a very shallow spot. Since the Button open raised in these hands and the Big Blind just called, the Big Blind will rarely have Ax hands in their range. Those hands would have been reshoved preflop at this stack depth.
