Good analysis ... even better that I'm mentioned... umm, what else...
LOL. Just to elaborate, or add to what you were saying: at the lower limits I don't think "stealing" is profitable. "Stealing" means that you are betting / raising w/ garbage looking to take the pot or blinds. J2o, 93s, etc. Shit hands. Value-betting with position, on the other hand, can and is profitable. Let's say our hero is on the button w/ A9s. (If it's folded to him at a 6Max game), the proper move is a raise here. Against two random hands (SB, BB) I think he's ahead. Of course, this looks like a steal to either blind. So the more difficult question is what happens if / when it's threebet.

Given this definition, I virtually never try to steal blinds in 6 max limit.

Getting in late from the original post. From the frist part I completely agree with TP about sb seeing a bunch but giving up almost all of them post.
While for the part you asked about defending blinds. I hate defending in the Sb, you're always out of position, and unless you hit something big, It's tough to take the lead in the hand. Persoanlly, I used to end up in way to many, Call, hit pair, checkraise, then you bet and get raised again. Besides premium hands, It think it's really difficult to play other hands profitably from the sb. Plus I'm just not good enough to lay down hands when I hit a pair but still run into aggression, so I try to avoid the situation with marginal hands instead of playing them. |
