Today you’ll be playing a common spot in a live small stakes cash game where it folds to you in the Cutoff seat, you raise to 5BBs, and the player on the Button calls. This spot is something of a reversal from many “raiser vs caller” scenarios in that the caller will have a significantly narrower range than the open raiser. A standard open raising range from the Cutoff seat is quite wide, whereas the Button calling range is generally about half as many hands.
Due to this dramatic range disparity, you should check the flop with a relatively high frequency with many of your hands.
