Assuming its a reg stealing and when were in the SB, another reg is the BB, so is very likely to fold to my re-steal. What are the best hands to re-steal with? All Ax? K9-KQ, SCs? What should we be flatting with, suited broadways, PPs? Just need some clarification. At 10NL with a .30c steal im guessing .90c will get the job done, and with .25c steals, .80c?

On to 3betting then. When were BTN and CO opens, ive noticed flatting seems pretty bad when regs are in the blinds. Flatting shows were not that strong, and players will regularly 4xBB from SB or BB and squeeze. So I guess were 3betting CO with a similar re-stealing range? Im also not sure whether its worth staying at tables with aggro regs to my left, getting involved in leveling wars with them, probably best to just find a softer table..?

Bascially just post any advice on being a nuisance to people from the blinds and BTN.

Thanks

1. Are you using a HUD? If so what is their steal % and what is the BB's fold to 3bet%? This is how you determine how wide you should be restealing or raising for value. I don't like flatting from the blinds very often especially from a button raise that will more than likely be a heads up pot. If MP raised, CO called and you are sitting in the SB with 88, I would flat but if the CO opened and it folded to you, a 3bet would be nice. I also don't like calling with SC too often, sometimes they are alright to play from the blinds but if you miss your hand you are screwed and OOP which is going to happen majority of the time, it is 3 bet or fold unless you have 98s in the BB and CO raises and Button and SB both call then a flat is alright because of odds alone. Raise sizes are nice.

2. I don't have to much of an opinion on this as this scenario does not come up often(blinds squeezing two players) but if you have aggro regs to your left it is probably best to find another table. Especially if there are nits to your right.

Yep got a HUD with all stats needed. I like your approach in point 1. Typically what are you 3betting to a CO/BTN raise vs a TAG with average stealing %s, i.e. he's not obviously stealing crazy wide, but enough to notice his range is much looser than UTG and even MP.

I don't have this down to anything exact but I would 3bet an average steal % from the blinds with hands like A10+, 88+ since their range should include Ax+, PP, SC, Any connected broadway. In this case you are 3 betting for value and the raise is not a bluff since you are ahead of their range. I would not 3 bet any TAG with an average steal % light because it is more a bluff for no reason since they are not getting out of line to begin with.
