How to interpret this BB vs BTN range
This BB-vs-BTN preset is a wide defense with a pure 3-bet core, many calls, and selective mixed 3-bets.
The grid shows strong pairs and broadways in the 3-bet core, while many suited aces, suited kings, and smaller pairs call. A useful study pattern is the non-linear suited-connector mixing: 87s and 54s lean to 3-bet while several nearby suited connectors lean to call.
Suited ace split
AKs–AJs and A5s are pure 3-bets. A9s–A6s and A2s are pure calls, while ATs, A4s, and A3s mix.
Broadway contrast
KQo mixes toward 3-bet, while KJo, QJo, KTo, QTo, and JTo mix toward call.
Review pairs, suited aces, suited broadways, and suited connectors in four passes; for each mixed cell, name its available actions before checking.
