i have been able to improve my game quite a bit lately thanks to poker trackers leak analysis.i have been able to play a style that im getting confident and comfortable with most of the time. its going to take some time and alot of hands before i can be consistent in my decision making but as of now being the beginner i am i feel i took a good step forward recently and got some control of my weak points except my play from the blinds .which just so happens is killing me and im having a hard time stopping the flood.i dont really have a specific question. i was hoping i could get a bunch of you strong blind players to briefly let me in on your strategy or mind set when playing from the blinds.i cant shake this feeling im at a disadvantage when in the blind so i end up playing weak.i almost dread being in the blind. how do you view playing from the blinds and do those positions bother any of you? thanks for your time.

Strong blind players ? The blinds are nasty to almost everyone.

You will be out of position (OOP) for the rest of the hand. That alone suggests you only continue with monster hands.

The problem many of us encounter is pot odds. Often, especially in tourney's, a family pot grows and we, in the SB, end up looking at 2 things, our 72o and 7+-1 pot odds. We are really damned if we do and damned if we don't call.:( Makes me cringe about pot odds every time that happens.

Seems like in more conventional pots the strong play is either folding or raising, and seldom just calling. FWIW, your tracker should not be counting floats in the BB against your VPIP.

Play tigher from the blinds. You dont want to be out of position with weak hands. Calling less is the best way to go.

ok then i think my tracker is giving me the wrong impression.i do play the blinds real tight because i hate being that out of position that i have to check in order to get some read on the other players.it seems like i get my best cards when im out of position and that sucks.
