WPT GTO Trainer Hands of the Week: MP2 5x Open Vs BTN 3x 3-Bet

This week you are in a tournament spot, and given the pay jumps and the presence of a 10BB and 12BB stack, you are strongly incentivized to not bust out of the tournament at this point.

One of the first things to note about this spot is that the Stack to Pot Ratio (SPR) is extremely low. There are 17.5BBs in the pot and only 22BBs left in the effective stack, making for a very shallow SPR of 1.25 to 1. This fact, along with the real money considerations, should alter your play quite a bit compared to deeper stacked cash game spots.
