AI Coach · Range interpretation

How to interpret this SB vs CO range

Against a CO open, this SB preset shows a very selective 3-bet and call range, with KJs and TT as the only pure 3-bets.

The grid places several suited aces, suited broadways, and pairs in call or call/fold branches, while many other visible hands fold. A useful study pattern is the contrast between mixed offsuit aces such as AKo and AQo and the call-oriented suited holdings.

01

Offsuit ace boundary

AKo and AQo mix 3-bet and fold with no call, while AJo mixes call and fold with no 3-bet.

02

Pair distribution

88, 77, 44, 33, and 22 are pure calls; 66 and 55 are call-heavy mixes, while TT is the only pure 3-bet pair.

03

Suited broadway split

KJs is a pure 3-bet and KQs a pure call; QJs mixes 3-bet/call, while QTs and JTs mix call/fold.

Use three columns—3-bet, call, and fold—and repeatedly place AKo, AQo, QJs, KJs, KQs, and the listed pairs from memory.
