WPT GTO Trainer Hands of the Week: Playing Against a Tough Button

Related Topics: World Poker Tour

Today you’ll be playing in a cash game with 100BB stacks as the preflop raiser facing a tough player who calls you on the Button. These are tricky spots since your opponent will have position on you in every hand. You will practice this spot from different positions at the table, meaning your hand range (and Button’s calling range) can change from hand to hand.

This dynamic training pack will allow you to see the effect that position has on optimal play. When you raise in the Cutoff and the Button calls, both hand ranges are wider than if you were to raise from UTG and Button calls.
