Today we’re focusing on a common spot where you are out of position against a tough opponent in the Cutoff after you raise first-in preflop in a multi-table tournament.
Using a standard continuation bet sizing and high betting frequency can often be the best play against weaker opponents in lower stakes tournaments. These opponents are less likely to exploit your betting frequencies by floating or raising with a good, balanced range on the flop.
With only 30BBs in the effective stacks and a 2BB standard opening raise with a big blind ante in play the Cutoff’s calling range is actually somewhat narrower than our opening range in this scenario.
