Notice that you play a 3-bet only strategy SB vs BTN. Now go from there. SB vs CO/MP/UTG you just gradually 3-bet tighter than your UTG opening range and you defend more by gradually flat calling vs these positions. Now you got 5 ranges memorized and actually you only know one range by heart.
Thanks for the tip. That's a good way to start implementing the 3-bet only strategy in SB.

keeping it real
Small update: Breaking my head lately with all this GTO theory and I must say I love every bit of it. You gotta eat it, you gotta breathe it, you gotta sleep it. I have a very long way to go though, but I think I got a general understanding how to construct my study plan. This week my focus was mainly on my post-flop game and I must say it improved a lot. To approach spots from a GTO-perspective forces me to think more before I click a button. For example, we open pre, get called and see a flop. What does villains range look like? How many nutted hands does he have on this board? Does he have many hands that have decent equity against the top of our range? How many mid strength hands do we want to protect in this spot? Do we check or c-bet 33% or do we need to c-bet larger here? Dealer... I need another clock!
Also love the overbet-strategy which is especially used on turns a lot and I must say it works like a charm. My approach to poker is completely shifted. What I want to do is play range vs range, not hand vs range. How do we want to play our range in this specific spot? What hands are checks? What hands barrel three times? There is still so much to learn.
This week I was running like poop and did some (probably too loose) bluffcatching. Because of the rake/cashback I'm breakeven over this week.

Was over $1k already, but got some variance going on. It only motivates me more to study, study and study. For now I'll watch a movie and call it a day. Tomorrow I will make an updated study plan and grind some more. Have a nice evening!
