The button is the most profitable position in poker, yet many players fail to fully capitalize on it. In this episode of the Red Chip Poker Podcast, we take a deep dive into button strategy, covering everything from preflop adjustments to postflop decision making.
Understanding how to play effectively from the button can significantly improve your overall winrate. While button leaks can absolutely cripple any chance of success. This episode explores:

What a strong button winrate looks like and how to identify leaks in your game
-
Optimal raise first in (RFI) frequencies and when to expand your opening range
-
Defending against 3-bets—when to call, fold, or 4-bet for maximum profitability
-
Postflop adjustments in single-raised and 3-bet pots, including c-betting, barreling, and exploitative play

Whether you’re an online player reviewing your database or a live cash game player looking to refine your approach, this episode provides practical insights to help you play more effectively from the button.
