The MTT Project has released a new theory class featuring 'SmallLake', focusing on how to play with initiative in early position against the big blind. In this video, 'SmallLake' delves into the strategies for leveraging the range advantage and initiative to build solid strategies on flops that benefit the opening range.

Throughout the class, viewers will learn how to structure their bets effectively. The video also covers which textures allow for more pressure and when to opt for more conservative lines. 'SmallLake' explains how to adapt decisions based on different player profiles, distinguishing between regulars and recreational players.

For those interested in deepening their understanding, the video is available on Universidad. This resource is part of a larger series that includes other sagas by 'SmallLake', which can be accessed with a monthly subscription of 12€.

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.
