AI Coach · Range interpretation
How to interpret this BTN vs UTG range
BTN versus a UTG open is a compact range with AA, AKs, and KK as pure 3-bets, surrounded by many distinct mixed continuations.
The grid combines three pure 3-bets with 3-bet/call and 3-bet/call/fold mixes across the rest. A useful study pattern is the contrast between varied suited-ace mixes and the more selective offsuit broadways, pairs, and suited connectors.
Middle pairs stay flexible
QQ through 77 all mix 3-bet and call, with JJ, TT, and 99 notably close to a split.
Connector selection is uneven
T9s and 54s are retained without folding, whereas 98s, 87s, 76s, and 65s include folding.
Drill four grid bands: the three pure 3-bets, suited-ace mixes, pair mixes, then the listed suited connectors.
