A comprehensive masterclass on defending against c-bets from the big blind position. The video covers optimal defense strategies across different board textures, hand selection criteria, and turn play considerations. Gleb “Chai” G. explains GTO concepts and practical applications for both calling and raising lines.

Defending strategy varies by board texture. High connected boards require polarized raising ranges. Low boards allow more aggressive defense with medium-strength hands.

Critical Defense Concepts:

  • Defense frequency varies significantly based on board texture and position
  • High connected boards demand more polarized raising ranges
  • Low boards allow for wider defense ranges with medium-strength hands
  • Turn strategy should align with flop raise sizing
  • Calling thresholds change based on opponent's bet sizing
  • Large c-bets should be met with more polarized responses
  • Position heavily impacts optimal defense strategy
