BTN Preflop Range: Why the Button Can Open Wider
Use positional advantage to understand button opens, blind defense, and postflop playability.
The button acts last postflop, which allows it to open the widest range in many 6-max games.
Add suited hands, connected hands, small pairs, and many broadway combinations, but keep the range playable.
If the blinds overfold, steal wider. If they 3-bet aggressively, tighten the weakest opens and prepare a clear continue range.
Three Rules to Remember
- The button earns through position.
- Playability still matters.
- Blind tendencies shape button width.
