My blind-stealing and defense strategy needs a lot of work, and I think I'm giving up quite a few BB.
Party 15/30
Low pairs:
When it's folded around to me in the SB and I've got 22 or 33, I typically raise for value, figuring I'm only behind to higher pairs, but I've had a LOT of trouble playing these post-flop when the BB calls. Because barring a set on the flop, i'm typically staring at 3 overcards; i almost always lead out with a bet, but if the BB calls it, i'm completely lost.
Low suited connectors:
When it's folded around to me in the SB with something like 45s or 75s, I find myself completing rather than raising, folding to a BB PFR, betting a favorable flop, check-folding an unfavorable flop...i KNOW this has got to be the wrong way to play low suited connectors from the SB, but again, I'm pretty lost...sometimes I'll just muck them b/c I feel like I'm so bad at playing 2 low cards out of position.
