    Poker Stars, $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

    Hero (SB): $2.15 (107.5 bb)
    BB: $2.02 (101 bb)
    UTG: $3.42 (171 bb)
    MP: $1.39 (69.5 bb)
    CO: $3.16 (158 bb)
    BTN: $7.66 (383 bb)

    Preflop: Hero is SB with T A
    3 folds, BTN raises to $0.06, Hero raises to $0.18, 2 folds

    Results: $0.14 pot
    Hero mucked T A and won $0.14 ($0.08 net)



    ST 35%

    Opening Range: 22+,A2s+,K2s+,Q5s+,J7s+,T7s+,97s+,86s+,76s,65s,A2o +,K9o+,Q9o+,J9o+,T9o = 35%
    Villain Defending Range: 22+,A2s+,K9s+,Q9s+,J9s+,T8s+,98s,87s,76s,65s,ATo+, KTo+,QTo+,JTo = 23%

    Therefore folding % = 1 - (23/35) = 34%

    Risk / Reward = 8,5BB / 13BB = 65%

    As a bluff this play wouldn't be advisable but I think A10s is strong enough to resteal vs BU in SB.

    Question: Any tips on giving Villain a specific defending range against a 3 bet or resteal as in this example?
    The range above was just guessing.

    To answer your question, we actually get into that (and general techniques for learning about ranges in different situations for different opponents) throughout this series.
