SB open range at 13 BB

How SB opens at 13 BB

When the action folds to the Small Blind with 13 big blinds (8-max MTT with ante), the book plays 83% of hands: all-in with 45%, and a limp with 38%. The other 17% fold.

Always all-in: AQo, AJo, ATo, A9s, A9o, A8s, A8o, A7s, A7o, A6o, A5o, A4s, A4o, A3s, A3o, A2s, A2o, KQo and 48 more.

Mixed hands (the book splits them between actions): AKo, AJs, ATs, A6s, A5s, KTs, QJs, QTs, Q9s, Q6s, Q5s, J7s, T9o, T2o and 6 more.

At this depth the open is a small raise, with some hands going all-in directly.

Next to it at 13 BB: BTN 40%. The small blind only has the big blind behind, but it is out of position after the flop, so it mixes raises, limps and all-ins instead of simply opening wider.

Closest decisions (the book opens them only part of the time): 85o 62%, 54o 66%, 75o 80%. These are the hands worth drilling, because a small change in the opponents or the stack flips them.
