CO: $5.68 (142 bb)
BTN: $3.82 (95.5 bb)
Hero (SB): $4 (100 bb)
BB: $0.40 (10 bb)
UTG: $5.34 (133.5 bb)
MP: $13.70 (342.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K A
UTG calls $0.04, 2 folds, BTN raises to $0.16, Hero raises to $0.52, 2 folds, BTN calls $0.36

Flop: ($1.12) 8 8 2 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.68, BTN raises to $1.36, Hero folds

Results: $2.48 pot ($0.16 rake)
Final Board: 8 8 2
BTN mucked and won $2.32 ($1.12 net)
Hero mucked K A and lost (-$1.20 net)

Our opponents are unknown.

The question here this time is about betsizing preflop: is it too small given that there is a limper in the pot and we are OOP? I feel that a raise of at least $0.56 would have been better.

Hello Avatars91,

Nah, the bet sizing is totally fine here and I don't mind. But rather the question is if we really should CB here? Most likely his calling range is already pretty strong and therefore I might even sometimes just Check/Fold right on the flop. If we expect him to have a wide calling range then CBetting is totally fine.

Best Regards.

What would you consider a tight range and what would be a wide range?

I don't have any stats on anyone at this table.

Wide range = Loose opponent ; Tight range = Tight opponent. :)

That's rather logical I do understand such basics!

I was wondering about particular ranges that could be considered as tight and loose, in order for us to choose whether to Cbet or not.

Please, read the article about what kind of player types are loose. :)
