BB Open 100bb – MTT range
Default preflop range for the BB Open 100bb spot in 6-Max MTT, from the RangerPro library.
In the BB Open spot at 100bb effective stacks, this default range includes 64 of the 169 starting hands (37.9%). The dominant action is Limp with 59 hands. Every hand in this range is played at full frequency, with no mixed strategies.
The Big Blind already has money invested and closes the pre-flop action. This creates wide defending ranges against opens, especially at deeper stacks where implied odds matter.
Opening (raise first in) sets the pace for the hand. Your open-raise range defines which hands are strong enough to voluntarily enter the pot and face potential 3-bets.
At 100bb effective stacks, post-flop playability is the key factor. Speculative hands like suited connectors and small pairs retain their implied odds value, and 3-bet pots don't commit your entire stack.
