This video introduces an anti-range bet strategy focusing on using small flop raises to counter opponents who automatically range bet certain board textures. Pete Clarke demonstrates how this approach creates uncomfortable decisions for opponents, explaining specific hand selections and follow-up strategies. Using GTO Wizard, he shows exactly which hands to include in your raising range and how to capitalize on opponents' likely mistakes.

The strategy exploits opponents' tendency to range bet certain flops by using a small raise sizing (40-50%) that allows you to include more hands than traditional larger raises. This creates unfamiliar decision points that take opponents out of their comfort zone, leading to significant mistakes.

Strategic Highlights:

  • Sideline Strategy - Taking opponents into unfamiliar territory where they make more mistakes
  • Small Flop Raise - Using 40-50% sizing allows for higher frequency raising
  • Hand Selection - Raising with thick value hands, vulnerable pairs, and backdoor draws
  • Turn Aggression - Following flop raises with aggressive turn bets, often overbets
  • Exploitative Focus - Targeting specific opponent tendencies rather than purely GTO play
  • Board Selection - Works particularly well on dry, low boards where opponents range bet frequently
  • Blocker Effects - Selecting bluffing hands that unblock opponents' folding range
