SB/BB
15: 50%/35%
10: 65%/45%
5: 75%/70%
Do we aggressively rejam as BB vs SB open or limp?
No, we see cheap flops IP w/ most hands and go from there.
Blind vs Blind Non-Shoving Basics
SB: open raises 25% <50bb (bluffs worst suited and A-Txo) + limp reraises top 10% deeper
SB Sizes (Cam’s custom sizes, not GTO): 3bb >25bb, 2.5 15-25, 2 <15bb
SB Limp/Call: Same as BB vs BTN defense at all depths
SB Limp/Raise: Similar to BB vs BTN 3bet range
BB: raises SB limp w/ 40% (bluff worst broadway + low offsuits)
What are preflop opening ranges?
Shorter: A hands and offsuit broadways become more valuable and ranges open up
Early: A7s, XQo, X9s, 66+
LJ: AXs, ATo, KJo, X9s, 55+ (50bb & less: X8s/KTo/A9o/QJo)
HJ: AXs, OBs, A9o, X7s, K4s+, 22+
CO: X6s, X9o, A8o, A/Kxs, 22+, 54s+
BTN: All Suited Hands Except 32-T2 & 5 others, X8o, AXo, K6o, 22+
1. Drop bottom 5% of low card suited hands <30bb
What are preflop calling ranges?
3bet more behind a caller and call less w/ AXs & OBs
-MP: Call AQo, SBs, A8s+, 66+ (Shorter we call less when lots of people behind)
-CO: Call A3s, AQo, X9s, 22+
-BTN: Call AXs, X8s, 54s+, 22+, AJo, KQo (40bb: tightens up slightly and drops weak suited hands (X2, X3, some X4))
-Vs MP: AJo+, KQo playable as 3bets/calls. BTN is ATo, KJo
-In SB: Call X9s, 54s+, 22+, AXs, AJo, KQo (Expands vs HJ/LP (X8s))
- BTN/SB all depths
- Vs HJ: K5s+, QJo, ATo
- Vs CO: OBs
- Vs BTN: X7s, KXs
40bb: Drop SCs, Increase OBs
30bb: Reduce PPs, AXs
How do we adjust preflop at 30bb and 40bbs?
40bb:
1. Suited connectors lose value as opens/calls
2. Offsuit broadways (i.e. AJo, KQo) more playable from earlier positions as opens/calls
30bb:
1. Small pocket pairs lose some value as opens/calls
2. Weak suited aces lose some value as calls
What are 3bet bluffs vs LP <50bb deep?
-BB vs LP: Bluffs are offsuit junk w/ a broadway card (A-9+8 or lower)
1. Don’t be afraid to squeeze w/ AXo 4x
-SB vs LP: Similar to BB but bluffs will be slightly better (A8o, A9o, K9o, QXs, etc)
-BTN vs CO: We can 3bet bluff XTo, X8s, X7s, A2s-A7s, some weaker suited Kings
4bet Range Changes
1a. The reality is humans 3bet tighter than GTOWiz so we should 4bet tighter
1. 35bb and smaller: we 4bet jam a lot of smaller pocket pairs (66+) vs IP & SB from LP
1b. 50bb: we 4bet jam 88+ LP vs IP/SB
2. Flat more IP, especially w/ AA
3. 4bet much tighter vs BB
4. We start 4bet jamming at 40-50bb
4betting vs. 3bets NAI
NOTE: POPULATION IS LIKELY TIGHTER THAN CHARTS SO I SHOULD BE TOO.
- 100: Use cash ranges
2. 50: Mostly allin sizes
3. All vs BB: be much tighter with 4bets
4. EP:
1. 50: QQ+, AK
2. 35: JJ+, AK
3. 20: 99+, AK
5. MP
1. 50: JJ+, AK
2. 35: TT, AK
3. 20: 88, AK
6. CO
1. 50: 99, AQ
2. 35: 77, AJ, KQs
3. 20: 55, AT+
7. BTN
1. 50: 88, AQ
2. 35: 66, AJ, KQs
3. 20: 77, A9+
BB vs EP w/ junky aces at 100bb and 40bb
- 100: A7o+
- 40: AXo
BB vs LP 25bb
We only fold 21% of hands (absolute worst offsuit)
What are 3bet calling ranges?
- People are so unbalanced that it’s highly player specific
- 100bb: SBs, Pocket pairs (much wider calling range than cash)
- 50bb and shorter: seem to call similar
