85 in SB v. BB - steal?
This is the second or third hand of 50/100 blinds. I have played only one or two if any hands so far (card dead and steal opportunities limited). IMO BB will likely only call with strong hands - any pair, A with mid kicker or K with good kicker. Blind steal or wait for better cards?
Looks like I am about 35% against a typical calling hand: pokenum -h 8s 5d - ac th Holdem Hi: 1712304 enumerated boards cards win %win lose %lose tie %tie EV 8s 5d 601078 35.10 1105203 64.54 6023 0.35 0.353 Ac Th 1105203 64.54 601078 35.10 6023 0.35 0.647 And 15% against a worst case scenario: pokenum -h 8s 5d - as ad Holdem Hi: 1712304 enumerated boards cards win %win lose %lose tie %tie EV 8s 5d 253639 14.81 1451053 84.74 7612 0.44 0.150 As Ad 1451053 84.74 253639 14.81 7612 0.44 0.850 Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (6 handed) converter CO (t1435) Button (t540) Hero (t605) BB (t1430) UTG (t2330) MP (t1660) Preflop: Hero is SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

I often push from the SB in a situation like this -- no cards or stealing opportunities and the blinds rising. It seems especially the first time you do this you will only be called by premium hands.

[/ QUOTE ] you'll get called by a lot of hands that aren't remotely premium (like a6o), but it's still profitable enough to push. if you wind up all in with a ~35% chance to win, that's not a disaster - it's probably what you eventually wind up with if you folded here. |
