S03 - E05 - C-Bet Range

Question 1

C-Bet Range

Why range bet

Answer 1

• When our range advantage is very strong, we generate tons of fold equity by betting so often
• Betting so often with small sizes forces villain to call extremely wide

BTN vs BB K82rb
BB should call with: J7s/96s with BDFD, somtimes even T9/QJ

Question 2

C-Bet Range

BTN vs BB Single-Raised Pot

Answer 2

Range Bet

• Disconnected, single-broadway rainbow boards. K83rb, Q72rb, J62rb
• High paired boards. KK3, QQ4, TT5, AAJ

No Range Bet

• More connected SBW rainbow boards. Q75rb
• A-high boards

You can c-bet more often as your position improves, i.e. as your range gets stronger.

Question 3

C-Bet Range

BTN vs CO, 3-Bet Pot

Answer 3

• Double BW boards
• All K-high and J-high flops
• Really disconnected Q-high flops, but not all. Villain usually calls with AQ

Vs tight/strong ranges, more caution is clearly warranted, e.g. on KJ4rb we can bet wide but not with everything

Question 4

C-Bet Range

BTN vs BB, SRP - Flops people think they should range bet

Answer 4

BTN vs BB, SRP

• K65rb, BTN checks 40%
  
  • Too much resistance. Q7s with BDFD can continue, but not on K83rb
• A-high boards, even disconnected, A83
• Keep in mind we are very rarely range betting when OOP

Question 5

C-Bet Range

BTN vs CO, 3BP - Flops people thing they should range bet

Answer 5

BTN vs CO, 3BP

• Non-broadway A-high boards. Not even disconnected, e.g. A63, A94
• In some spots we could go bigger, but best to simplify and stick to small sizes. E.g. 25%-33%, even 10% in some 3-bet/4-bet pots

Question 6

C-Bet Range

Playing Turns after range betting

Answer 6

BTN vs BB, SRP

• With such a wide range our turn equity suffers, and our betting frequency should be quite low.
  
  • On K82rb, BTN has 43%-50% equity across ALL turn cards.
• When we do bet, we usually use an overbetting strategy in SRP but not in 3BP
• The best turns for BTN are high cards; the worst are board-pairing turns
