To Steal or not to steal

Villain 1 is really tight has folded all blinds, Villain 2 has folded his bb before.

Would you try to steal here or not? 3x or 2.5x or other?


Would you make the call? Are the pot odds right?


Unlucky or just horrible thinking?



I never took into consideration villain 1s stack size and probability of shoving.

Yes steal.

Thank you for posting

So yes we steal vs two tight blinds. What does it mean when we are stealing? It means we do not want to play a hand we just want to win right there. We do not turn a steal into a hand we play unless it is call pre and we whammy the board.

If tight villain plays back at our steal we fold!

Hope this helps

in poker, I have three basic rules that I try to adhere to: 1 don’t bluff against short players because they have nothing to lose and they can call you at any time 2 don’t bluff against a leader - because he has enough chips and but he can at any moment check your bluff 3 never bluff against a fish, it always seems to a fish that everyone bluffs against it, since they themselves play like that !!! you had 16bb - now you will probably have to take risks so as not to be short !!!

If they are tight and don't raise from the blinds for at least 3 orbits then yes try your move
