Is it normal to be losing this much in the blinds? BB seems quite a high loss rate. Just wondering if my stats are okay, are there any obvious spots that I'm leaking in or need adjusting/improving?

blinds VPIP and PFR are way to high for the amount youre 3bing. your lossrate from BB is not great but definitely fine, but your SB isnt flash at all

can i just say though, your BTN w/r is real solid. this makes me think that youre pretty decent postflop, so my advice would be to 3b more out of the blinds and crush souls postflop (obv should be 3bing more out of the blinds than any other position and you arent- vs late opens, BvB, etc etc)

Very informative post man, thanks. Think I will look into blind defense training etc...

And you should be 3betting most on the button, not from the worst positions on the table.

Am I 3betting too much from the blinds or do I need to increase button 3bet %? kinda confused, I've been 3betting more from the blinds due to being oop or is that a leak from the blinds?

I had just posed this same question yesterday, i seem to be losing a lot from the blinds. So trying to find a better strategy for my blind play.

You could probably 3bet more from the blinds AND on the button. It seems like you're only 3betting your hand atm as it's the same across all positions. Look for some spots where your opponent folds alot to 3bets and start adding in some bluff hands. You might also want to start 3betting more on the button with hands you wouldn't normally play for value but where you think villain will call wider.

So in the blinds against someone who opens a lot but folds a lot, add some Ax hands in to get some folds. On the button you might add in spots where you can 3bet for value because villain is calling with KJ and stuff. Think about what your opponent is doing and what he will do and take advantage.

Tbh, I think everything looks pretty good and you'll get more info from posting individual hands.

wtf are you talking about, they're pretty much perfect.

a little contradictory? i kinda feel like were on the same level but just dont agree that we agree or something :s

obv 5% from all positions is a good amount, but ye he can definitely 3b more to be more profitable. 5% 3b stat is pretty face up. and imo 25% of hands being played OOP without initiative is suicide.

OP is already killing the BTN playing it the way he is, so i find it very unnecessary to do anything differently there. by all means OP, you could probably be winning more 3bing more from the button, but i dont think itd change much.

post was about how to be more profitable from the blinds, and a large part of the problem that i think OP is having is that once he 3bs from the blinds and gets called on the flop, his opponents are going to be able to play perfectly against him since its just going to be so incredibly obvious what he has.

theres so much money to be made 3bing w ATC vs tons of CO/BTN and esp SB opens when youre BB and actually have position that it doesnt really make sense to not want to 3b more from these positions


or maybe its just personal playstyle preference. idk

OP do you mind sharing your 3b range? (im assuming it doesnt change based on positions, and that the only reason theres differences in stats is sample size).

And yeah, 3betting from blinds and just shutting down when I get called on the flop is an issue for me. Realising how much more work/study I to re-vamp my game If I want to move up stakes.



Thanks for all the helpful comments so far you guys.
