CO 100bb 反偷盲(CO 100bb Resteal)

CO 100bb Resteal

In Texas Hold'em, the cutoff player re-raises a raise from a later position with effective stacks of about 100 big blinds, aiming to attack a possible blind steal attempt.

Overview

CO 100bb Resteal is an aggressive play targeted at specific stack depths and positions, common in cash games or late tournament stages. CO (Cutoff) is to the right of the button and is the last non-blind position to act preflop. 100bb means effective stacks of roughly 100 big blinds, which is a typical medium-stack state.

Action and Intent

When an opponent raises from a late position such as the button or small blind, the CO player responds with a 3bet to resteal. The core assumption is that the opponent's raising range is wide, containing many weak hands, especially when they are stealing. With deeper stacks, the CO's 3bet typically needs to be around 12–15bb, forcing the opponent to fold or face difficult subsequent decisions.

Strategy Considerations

  • Position Advantage: The CO position itself has a positional advantage, but after restealing faces the risk of a 4bet from the button or blinds. If the button player does not have sufficient hand strength, they often fold.
  • Stack Depth: 100bb leaves enough room for postflop play for both sides, so the 3bet range should include both value hands and bluffs. Typical bluffing hands include Axs, small pairs, or suited connectors.
  • Opponent Tendencies: This play is more effective against aggressive players who frequently steal; if the opponent rarely steals, a resteal may turn into a value bet.

Example

  • Scenario: CO holds A♠5♠, button raises to 3bb, effective stacks 100bb. CO 3bets to 12bb, button folds. This is a classic Resteal.
  • Risk: If the button holds TT+ or AQ+, they might 4bet, forcing the CO to fold, so the opponent and timing must be chosen carefully.
