View Full Version : Right steal on the button?

My read on the SB and BB was fairly tight, when in the SB, they routinely muck their cards unlike the rest of the table. They generally have a raise/fold preflop mentality. I thought against 2 unknowns I could steal the blinds or should this not be attempted at $.5/$1 limits?
(I put the action of SB and BB in white)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, CO folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="white"> SB folds, BB folds.</font>

Final Pot: 1.75 BB

How weak would your hand have to be to NOT try stealing in this situation?

This is highly player dependant, but read this:

Not saying you should always follow this (I'm talking about button play here), but you should think about it. /v
