TAG - SB and BB range

Hey all, I decided that pokertracker would be a good tool to improve my game, because I thought I had some leaks in my game.

And when I looked at my stats after 5k hands, I saw that my SB and BB are leaking CRAZY! So I am wondering whats a standart TAG player opening/calling range for SB and BB. I mean I call alot due to pot odds, is that what I should be doing?

Thanks for inputs.

Also, my button / MP / win are off the charts, would that indicate good postflop play? (button is by far the biggest winner.)

how much are you losing in the SB/BB?


its normal for a winning player to be down money in those two positions

Im losing 12/14 $ in SB/BB

winning 17$ on the button, then it goes down, Im currently EVEN for the last 7k hands, I've ran bad on a few monsters though. So its currently irrelevent.

Still prety certain my blind skills are lacking.

Maybe it'll make it more clear if I say im losing 0.39BB / hands BB, 0.32BB/hands SB

Your BB will always be your biggest loser,your SB will always be second.Your biggest winner should be on the button.I wouldn't worry about it your losing way less in the blinds so far than i am.

You def. have a problem here. If you fold every hand on the SB you'd be losing .25BB/hand and if you're playing even decently you should be able to improve on that. For reference my own loss rate in the blinds is .19BB/hand in the BB and .12/hand in the SB. My guess is that you're playing way too many hands in these positions and as we all know playing OOP sucks. Your sample is very small so it could be just variance but I'd keep a close eye on your loss rate in these positions.

Yeah, for a small update I started being way tighter on the BB/SB, playing them as I would UTG unless I have position on SB whos the only raiser, and then I play it as I would button, but with a tight range.

My SB is getting better, my BB is still a big loser though, my BB is at .43 BB and my sb is at .25BB, so we can see the SB drasticaly went down, but BB is still a big loser, but that is variance in my opinion, so I'll keep a tight attitude and see how it goes.

For your information I am about to post a summary of myself after 9k hands, wich isn't alot, but I want to make sure I have no bad habit so you can evaluate that.

Thanks ^^ Don't abuse me with all the information I will give you
