Default What hands do you steal with from late position?

Consider the following before answering the question:

You are in the CO or on the button.
You have well over 10BB.
All hands have been folded to you.
The remaining opponents are all considered average with regards to aggression/looseness.
You don't have an established table image.

What I'm looking for is the typical steal/semi-steal hands.

Thanks.

Default Re: What hands do you steal with from late position?

Other factors that are still important: Blind level, stack sizes of you and remaining players.

Being in the CO or on the button makes a difference to me too.

From the button, I will steal with any pair, any ace, high kings (~K9ish and up), and maybe some big suited broadways.

From the CO, I will sometimes fold low aces (A2..A6 or so), and hands like K9-KJo, QJs, KTs, etc.

This works out to about 25% of hands from the button, and like 17% or so from the CO.

My PT stats so far (about 600 tourneys) support this, but of course show a sliding scale depending on the blind level. At level one I'm not stealing (or even playing) with AT from either position regardless of whether everyone folded.
