The Cutoff is where GTO starts to open up. With only the Button and blinds behind, you can profitably raise a much wider range — suited aces, most suited connectors, and even some offsuit broadways become opens. Position is starting to pay. At 100bb — the standard cash-game depth — GTO ranges are at their most balanced. You have full implied odds for suited connectors and small pairs, and 3-bet/4-bet dynamics are fully in play. This is the baseline every serious student should master first. Below is the GTO range grid for CO at 100bb (6-max, rake 5% cap $3) — green = raise, amber = call, red = fold. Hover any hand for exact frequencies and EV.

From the Cutoff, open all suited aces, most suited kings, and connectors down to 76s. Offsuit broadways like KJo and QJo become profitable opens. Mix in a few 3-bets vs UTG/HJ opens with suited blockers. Standard-depth strategy: this is where GTO is most nuanced — balanced open, 3-bet, and call ranges. Study how frequencies shift by position, and drill the borderline hands (A5s, KJo, 77) until decisions are automatic.
Pro tip: Compare this chart to your actual VPIP from this position in your tracker. The gap between GTO and your play is your leak — Lab's leak detector quantifies it in bb/100.
GTO open-raise frequency for CO at 100bb depends on rake and field, but our TexasSolver-based chart (0.5% exploitability, 5% rake cap $3) shows the solver-preferred raise/call/fold mix for all 169 hands. Hover the grid above for exact frequencies per hand. Generally, CO is moderate — see the grid for 100bb specifics.
Use the 3-step method: (1) Quiz yourself — cover the grid and ask 'What does GTO do with AJo CO 100bb?' (2) Check and note surprises. (3) Drill the borderline hands (the amber/mixed cells) with Lab's spaced-repetition drills. 10 minutes a day per position beats cramming.
These ranges are solved for 6-max cash, 5% rake cap $3, which matches most micro-to-mid stakes online games. At very low stakes with high rake or vs extremely tight/loose opponents, exploitative adjustments beat pure GTO — but you need to know GTO first to know when to deviate.
