progressBTN vs UTG+1 open at 50 BB
8-max MTT · ante 12.5 % · chip EV
BTN facing a UTG+1 open at 50 BB
The utg+1 opens to 2 BB and the action reaches the button with 50 big blinds. The book folds 82% of hands, calls with 10%, 3-bets to 6.5 BB with 7.6%.
Always 3-bet: AA, AKs, AKo, AQo, KK, K9s, QQ, JJ.
Always call: AJs, AJo, ATs, ATo, A9s, A7s, KQs, KJs, KJo, QJs, TT, 99 and 1 more.
The button is in position against the raiser and only the blinds are left behind, which is why it calls far more often than the blinds do.

One short lesson a day, each with a worked example in exact numbers: chips vs. money, the bubble factor, who feels the pressure, payout structures, satellites. No account needed.
Numbers come from the progressGTO solution book (v14, chip EV, 8-max, ante 12.5 %): our own equilibrium computation with a modelled postflop. It is an approximation, not an exact solution, and it keeps improving. Hover or tap a hand to see its exact frequencies.
