Blind play: SSH guidelines - Thanks Ed

[Hallett]

One area that my game has improved since getting IT is blind play. I had always thought that since I was already in, or in for 1/2 a bet, many hands were worth a call. I used to do ok in the blinds, losing less than the bets required to post them, but they were the only positions on the table that I was a consistant loser. Post IT, I am way tighter, and I am actually winning in the SB, and losing .16BB per hand in the BB. I think I can improve my post flop button play and make both values positive. Granted, this is only over 4,000 hands since getting the book.

Thanks Ed!

You will always lose money long run in the blinds.

I've actually turned an overall profit in the SB according to PT.

I bet you are right, I not taken the time to research this. My point is that I am losing less after reading the book.

Yeah I answered that a little too quick. I believe you will always lose money in the SB in a 1/2 SB blind structure. I imagine the majority of your hands were in a 1/3 or 2/5 blind structure. It still seems likely to me to lose in the long run in those situations, but I guess it doesn't shock me that a good 3/6 or 5/10 player would turn a small profit.
