Hello Everyone,
Been doing a lot of studying lately and trying to improve my game, and have found one of my major leaks to be playing from the blinds.
I know it is difficult for anyone to play when in the blinds as most of the time you are OOP and all the time if you are in the SB.
I used to just fold or 3-bet from the blinds and call small-medium pocket pairs with the intention of set-mining or getting to a cheap showdown depending on flop.
I have been playing around a bit with a hand range calculator and have come up with this range to play from the blinds. I know this will differ from villain to villain but just say it is against your typical 21/18 TAG.
Hero in SB or BB facing UTG or MP open - Call 22-TT, KQs, AJs-AQs. 3-bet for value AKs, AK, JJ+.
Hero in SB facing CO or BTN open - Call 22-99, KQ, AJ, ATs, KJs, QJs, KTs, QTs, JTs. 3-bet for value AQs, AQ, AJs, AKs, AK, KQs, TT+.
Hero in SB facing CO or BTN open - Call 22-99, KQ, AJ, ATs, KJs, QJs, KTs, QTs, JTs. 3-bet for value AQs, AQ, AJs, AKs, AK, KQs, TT+.
(Also include some 3-bet bluffs/squeezes from the BB if SB calls and also Villains have high fold to 3-bet % hands like A2s-A5s, K6s-K9s, Q6s-Q9s)
Not to sure on the 3-bet bluff range but my choices where made because they are any easy fold to a 4-bet, they have blockers to hands like, AA, KK, QQ, AK, AQ, KQ and with them being suited they have potential to flop some decent equity with a flush draw or flush draw and a pair, 2 pair. Also they are not hands that play well OOP.
Anyway, any advice or criticism is welcome. Look forward to your replies
