Single Raised Pot (SRP)
A single raised pot, SRP, is a pot in which one player raised before the flop and everyone else just called, without a re-raise. It is the most common kind of pot.
The simple explanation
If the first player raises and the others call or fold, the pot is single raised. There is no three-bet. The stacks are deeper compared with the pot than in a three-bet pot.
A closer look
In single raised pots, the pot is small relative to the stacks, so strategy goes through three streets of betting. Ranges are wide, because there is no three-bet to narrow them. Solver studies often start with single raised pots, since they are the baseline for postflop play. Compare them with three-bet pots, where the stacks are shallower relative to the pot.
A practical example
A player raises to 6 on the button, the big blind calls and the others fold. The pot is a single raised pot.
