SB open range at 14 BB

How SB opens at 14 BB

When the action folds to the Small Blind with 14 big blinds (8-max MTT with ante), the book plays 84% of hands: a raise to 2.5 BB with 0.2% and all-in with 43%, and a limp with 41%. The other 16% fold.

Always all-in: AQo, AJo, ATo, A9s, A9o, A8s, A8o, A7s, A7o, A6s, A6o, A5o, A4s, A4o, A3s, A3o, A2s, A2o and 46 more.

Mixed hands (the book splits them between actions): AKo, ATs, A5s, K9s, QJs, QTs, Q5o, J9o, J8o, J7s, 98o, 84s, 55, 54o.

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

Next to it at 14 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): 54o 70%. These are the hands worth drilling, because a small change in the opponents or the stack flips them.
