Uri Peleg Explains How to Counter Small Sizing Range Bets in Poker

Poker pro Uri Peleg explains how to counter small sizing range bets in a new video for GTO Wizard. To understand how to counter range bets, one must first understand how they work. Range bets are built around weaker hands. One strategy to balance strong and weak hands is to bet with any hand using the same sizing.

After a call and a check on the turn, the solver plays either big or checks. To counter small sizing range bets, one should defend wider, using backdoor equity. Checking and raising more often can prevent the opponent from reaching the river cheaply. If the opponent reaches the river cheaply, their range is likely to be weak.

Peleg emphasizes the importance of understanding the opponent's range and using backdoor equity to counter small sizing range bets effectively. By defending wider and using aggressive check-raising, players can put pressure on their opponents and prevent them from reaching the river cheaply. This strategy can be particularly effective against opponents who rely on small sizing range bets to build their pots.
