Final hand to post for analysis today...
I think this is a good spot to steal and I think a suited A is a good stealing hand. BB is a loose player but I figured if he calls, I'm still ahead of his range (41/18). And I'll be IP.
I'm wondering if the fact that he's usually defending his blind is a reason not to steal with the A8. What do you think? Do you steal tighter against a looser player? Shouldn't I be trying to steal blinds and gain chips at this stage?
So I steal, he calls. I cbet a small amount because I missed and I figure that if he doesn't have anything he'll fold no matter how little I bet and if he has any piece of this or has a PP, he's calling.
When he calls, I figure I'm giving up on this hand. It goes check/check to the river. Would another cbet on the turn have been appropriate?
