progressCO vs UTG+1 open at 15 BB
8-max MTT · ante 12.5 % · chip EV
CO facing a UTG+1 open at 15 BB
The utg+1 opens to 2 BB and the action reaches the cutoff with 15 big blinds. The book folds 87% of hands, calls with 4.7%, goes all-in with 8.3%.
Always all-in: AA, AKs, AKo, AQs, AQo, KK, KTs, QQ, QJs, QTs, JJ, TT, 88, 77 and 1 more.
Always call: AJs, AJo, ATs, ATo, A9s, A8s, A7s, 66.
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.
