Hi Sharoni.

At the early blind levels, I guess stealing first in with KQo from the BU is ok from time to time, but it isn't something you want to get tangled up in postflop, especially when you miss everything.

Given his stats, you are almost never stealing his blinds successfully, so I wouldn't bother, and postflop I can back down pretty quick when he wants to fight.

Hi all,

Preflop: raise to 3bb from the button here please. With 3.5bb we're giving ourselves bad odds to blindsteal with a wide range of hands.

I personally just call the flop bet to try hit my overcards although folding flat out is fine too. Definitely don't raise. It's the sort of board where our fold equity is simply not high enough (lots of draws in his range that don't fold to a raise, and we can't do anything on the turn to price them out).


thanks, you are right, it didn't feel good already while playing the hand, at least I learned something from it, that's what matters...
