Mastering Big Blind Defense in Poker: Strategies Against the Button


The article is a theoretical class from the Cash Project about defending the big blind against the button. The class is taught by 'ElMarques' and focuses on playing against continuation bets on the flop.

The class includes an introduction to the spot and an analysis of preflop ranges. The instructor explains how to understand the defense from the big blind and what hands reach each type of flop.

The class divides the work according to the texture of the board, reviewing keys in offensive, medium, and defensive flops. The instructor comments on practical adaptations that help transfer the study to real gameplay.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
