progressCO vs LJ open at 80 BB
8-max MTT · ante 12.5 % · chip EV
CO facing a LJ open at 80 BB
The lojack opens to 2.1 BB and the action reaches the cutoff with 80 big blinds. The book folds 84% of hands, calls with 8.8%, 3-bets to 7.5 BB with 7.5%.
Always 3-bet: AA, AKs, AKo, KK.
Always call: AJs, AJo, ATs, ATo, A9s, A8s, KQs, KJs.
With players still to act behind, the cutoff needs a stronger hand to continue, so it plays fewer hands than the button does and prefers a 3-bet or a fold to a loose call.
