Defending vs C-bets

Lesson 6 · OOP defense: check-call, check-raise, fold · 24 practice questions

Defending OOP

You can't realize equity as well OOP. Defend less than IP, but still respect MDF vs small bets.

Check-raise for value & bluffs

Use check-raises on wet boards with strong hands and some draws. Forces folds and builds pots.

Fold discipline

Fold the bottom of your range vs large bets on bad boards. Don't defend out of stubbornness.

Key takeaways

• OOP realizes less equity — defend a touch tighter than raw MDF.
• Check-raise wet boards with strong hands plus some draws.
• Fold the bottom of your range vs big bets on bad boards.

FAQ

How do you defend out of position against a c-bet?

Mix check-call with your bluff-catchers and marginal made hands, check-raise with strong hands and some semi-bluffs, and fold the bottom — defending at least the MDF so the bettor can’t auto-profit.

How wide should you defend versus a half-pot c-bet?

Against a half-pot bet MDF is about 67%, so you continue with roughly two-thirds of your range — though against tight, value-heavy bettors you can over-fold exploitatively.
