Poker Strategy: Playing from CO Against BTN in a 3-Bet Pot

Elmorobielsa has introduced a new theoretical class for the Doctorado students of the Cash Project. This class delves into the intricacies of playing in a 3-bet pot without initiative and without position, specifically focusing on a scenario where the cutoff (CO) opens and the button (BTN) makes a 3-bet.

The professor emphasizes the difficulty of this spot, noting that players are out of position with a capped range against a linear range. Elmorobielsa recommends avoiding this spot as much as possible due to these challenges.

To provide clarity, Elmorobielsa analyzes the preflop ranges for both positions. Using GTO Wizard, he explains the theory of play on the flop in this spot, offering valuable insights for poker enthusiasts looking to improve their game.
