| Folding to too many blind steals Hey guys, I have been busy this afternoon plugging a few leaks (stopped calling in the SB with non-PPs for the time being) and tidying up my strategy. I got to thinking... I fold to blind steals too often! I play 10NL 6max at about 19/17 and my fold to blind steal is 91% over a large sample. This I feel is too high and I would sooner the figure be below 80 as I feel I may be an easy target to the savvy reg to my right (not that I choose to have these here as I'd rather they were opposite but whatever) I have recently stopped 3betting light from OOP without solid reads as the average fold to resteals at my stakes is like 47%... one MAJOR leak plugged! So a guy who is stealing with a 28% range and calling with half of it has gotta be worth 3betting for value often right? Below is a 28% stealing range: |

| Aha! It would appear that my fold to steal % is about the same for my SB as for my big blind. I think the main leak for me is giving up my BB too easily and though my SB fold % is little high, I think it could be prudent to take extra care with only 0.5bb invested and at the worst position at the table. I would like to concentrate my efforts to bring my fold BB to steal % down to a more sensible <70%. This would even out my average fold to steal and brind it comfortable below 80% and I'd be less of an obvious target when I do find myself to the left of a thinking player Last edited by Deceitful_Frank : 6th March 2011 at 6:44 PM. |

| Try 3-betting from the blinds when a nitty player tries to steal your blinds. In my experience this type of player folds to resteal more often than you would expect. (I play full ring, and in my world a nitty player is someone with VPIP less than 8-ish) |

So, correct me if I am wrong but this is the complete opposite of what you want to do? Someone who has a low VPIP and a low PFR raising you, showing nitty signs, more time than not you are going to run into a monster hand. This would only be a good move if you had the steal attempt stat as well. |

However, if they don't play position (e.g. ATS = 8) then no, just fold everything except the stuff that you beat their range with. And anyway, if I am on a table with a nit then I tend to want to be sitting to their right so it's me who does the stealing and not the other way round! |
