In this detailed GTO analysis video, Francesco from LAG Poker examines an unusual strategy of checking back entire ranges on K-high boards. Using GTO Wizard, he explores how this unconventional play can be surprisingly effective against strong opponents, comparing EV calculations between standard betting strategies and complete check-back ranges.

The video reveals that checking back entire ranges on K-high boards can be nearly as effective as optimal GTO play, especially against strong players who won't expect this strategy.

Solver Revelations:

  • Standard GTO approach suggests betting 55% pot size 43% of the time

  • Blank turns allow for similar betting patterns as optimal flop play
  • Connected turn cards significantly change the strategy effectiveness
  • Strategy works best as an exploitative play against strong opponents
  • Complete range check-back can outperform simplified betting strategies
  • Alternative strategy puts skilled opponents in uncomfortable spots
