BTN vs 3-Bet BB – All Stack Depths
Default preflop ranges for the BTN vs 3-Bet BB spot in 6-Max MTT at every stack depth, from the RangerPro library.
The Button is the most profitable seat in poker. Acting last on every post-flop street gives you maximum information, allowing the widest open range at the table.
When your open gets 3-bet, you're facing aggression. Your continue range must account for the 3-bettor's position and tendencies. Tight 3-bet ranges call for tighter continues.
