The Cutoff
From Poker Ascent: 110,000+ drills across 10 skills, graded against the player type you are facing.
The second-best seat and the first true steal position. When it folds to you, open wide: suited hands, connectors, most aces.
Your open pressures the button and blinds; when the button is a nit, the cutoff becomes the effective button and you should treat it that way.
The cutoff's core postflop edge is barreling give-ups: you will usually be in position against blind defenders whose ranges are wide and weak.
Against LAG buttons, tighten the steal range a touch and 4-bet your value hands; they attack cutoff opens on principle.
Poker Ascent drills every seat: hundreds of hands where the correct answer is graded against your position and your opponent at the same time.
