Overview
The term "Light Peel Defense" is not common in poker terminology and lacks a widely accepted definition. Typically, "Peel" refers to calling an opponent's bet on the flop with the intention of seeing the next card (the turn). "Light" indicates a hand of low strength or a wide range. "Defense" refers to a defensive action, such as protecting one's blinds or range.
Possible Meaning
In some poker discussions, "Light Peel Defense" may describe a strategy of calling an opponent's continuation bet with marginal hands while out of position (e.g., in the big blind), aiming to prevent the opponent from overly aggressively attacking your blind. This call is not based on a strong hand but on the need to defend your range.
Controversy and Notes
Since this term is not standard, different players may interpret it differently. In rigorous poker theory (such as GTO), more common terms include "Defense Range" or "Calling Range." "Light Peel Defense" might be considered an informal expression; it is advisable to clarify its specific meaning in conversation to avoid ambiguity.
