AI Coach · Range interpretation
How to interpret this SB vs BB 3-bet range
Against the BB 3-bet, this SB preset has a small pure 4-bet core, a call layer led by suited hands and pairs, and many mixed edges.
The grid shows pure calls in several suited aces, suited broadways, 99–66, and selected suited connectors. The mixed cells separate 4-bet, call, and fold frequencies rather than following one uniform cutoff.
Offsuit broadways diverge
AKo is mostly 4-bet, KQo mixes 4-bet and call, AQo uses all three actions, and QJo is mostly fold.
Pairs have a visible lower edge
99 through 66 are pure calls, 55 is mostly call, 44 mixes call and fold, while 33 and 22 are pure folds.
Make three flashcard groups—pure 4-bet, pure call, and mixed—and recite each mixed card with its available actions.
