passive play, where do I need to be more aggressive?

Call preflop, check/fold the flop.

The small blind is no place to fight back at a player. This is how PLO works, the guy on the button steals the blinds, and the players in the blinds fold. Then when it's your turn on the button, you steal the blinds of the next guy.

Playing passively is all you can do in the small blind, to do anything else is to just spew chips. You limit your losses and try and hit your draws cheaply.

Hi Ribbo.

I used to agree with you in that from SB it´s better to play passively, but "leak buster" told me that I was lossing money that way, so I started to 3bet from the blinds (from SB my 3bet is 3.5%)... and could be variance, but I´m lossing less that way from that possition.

I usually don´t 3bet a hand like this from the blinds, but the range of this player from the BTN was really wide (in a previous showdown vs BB he shows 22A9r); so against his stealing range my 3bet was in fact for light value and to knockout the BB player from the hand... and with that hand I don´t fear facing a 4bet.

So, suppose that you were folding against his stealings until this time that you went crazy and you made a 3bet; Would you have played the hand passively postflop in any street against his perceived range?

Thanks Ribbo!

You're always losing money in the blinds, always.

It's not a leak to be losing money, it's to be expected. The only time 3 betting will lead you to losing less, is when you're against passive opponents who don't bluff.

Even if I had 3 bet preflop, I am still check/folding this flop.
