HIGHLIGHTS:
- BTN- the position where we make the most money
- The most money we make on blind play.
- Our Goal: steal as much as posible.
- The math is the same like in SB vs BB but we have to look at both players.
FtSteal SB * FtSteal BB=>> decison steal or not
Stealing Bet Size BTN vs SB*BB (autoprofit):
- x3-> 66%
- x2.5-> 62%
- x2-> 57%
- Understand the factors which guide our stealing decision.
Button Stealing Factors:
1. FtSteal SB*BB.
Do we want to steal with trash? Does it autoprofit or not?
Can we steal with any2?
2. FtCB
How often opponent folds to continuation bet on the flop?
If are we able to take the pot postflop?
Low FtCB-> reason not to steal with trash. No FEq postflop.
When opponent doesn't FtSt but folds more than 60% FtCB we want to steal with any two because we can take the pot postflop.
3. WTSD
Low-> more FEq-> reason to steal
High-> less FEq-> reason not to steal with trash
4. 3Bet
How often does opponent steal our equity?
Against player how 3bet a lot we lose EQ because we don't see flop.
