BBZ Poker has expanded its training library with the release of Small Blind Mastery: Limped Pots, a new tournament-focused course designed to help players navigate one of No-Limit Hold’em’s most misunderstood situations.
The new course, which costs $185, is led by BBZ Poker founder Jordan “BBZ” Drummond and contains 10 hours of MTT-focused content across 62 videos and 13 chapters centered exclusively on blind-versus-blind limped pots.
According to Drummond, the course was developed after seeing students repeatedly struggle with the complexity of playing from the small blind.
“Small Blind Mastery: Limped Pots is the direct result of my students struggling with the complexity of blind versus blind play,” Drummond said.
“With ranges so wide and so weak, my students needed systems that could organize their actions into repeatable and executable strategies. Emphasis on executable.
“It’s very important that you can realistically execute the strategies that you’re pursuing, and that’s exactly what I’ve done in this course for you.
“So if that sounds like something that you’re interested in, simplifying one of the most difficult spots in Hold’em, let’s get started.”
Breaking Down One of Poker’s Most Common Spots
Blind-versus-blind situations are among the most frequently encountered spots in tournament poker, but limped pots often receive far less attention than raised and three-bet pots.
BBZ Poker argues that many players approach these situations without a clear framework, leading to inconsistent bet sizing, poor bluff selection, and costly mistakes across all post-flop streets.
The course aims to provide players with a complete roadmap, covering everything from preflop limping ranges to river decision-making.
Among the key concepts explored are minimum defense frequency (MDF), geometric bet sizing, relative hand strength, bluff-to-value ratios, and two separate river bluffing systems.
The course also examines how ranges evolve throughout a hand and how players can build both their betting and defensive strategies using the same underlying logic.
What’s Included in the Course?
The curriculum is divided into several core areas, including:
- Preflop limping ranges and when the small blind should limp, raise, or fold
- Flop strategies for both the aggressor and defender
- Turn barrel selection and geometric bet sizing
- River value thresholds and bluff construction
- Range development across multiple streets
- Bet-versus-bet symmetry between both positions
- Common leaks, including over-limping, under-defending, and poor bluff selection
The course is available now through BBZ Poker’s training platform.
