WPT GTO Trainer Hands of the Week: In Position Against a Tough Big Blind

Today you’ll be playing as the open raiser in a Tournament facing a call from a tough player defending their Big Blind.

In position as the open raiser, you’ll be c-betting with a high frequency. You can size your c-bets up on dynamic (or coordinated) boards and down on static (or dry) flops. You can also size down your c-bets on monotone flops, which are when the flop comes all of one suit.

Given the relatively wide range of the Big Blind, you may be able to find some thin river value bets with hands worse than top pair.
