Re: steal with A-rag this early?

Yes, absolutely. I think it's pretty +$EV to push almost any 2 from the SB and a very wide range from the BB when you have 3xBB in the $20s (as long as the stacks in the blinds aren't *huge* or *tiny*).
Every time I do it, I cringe because I just can't believe people will fold very often. Yet they do.

Beyond the SB/BB situation, how much weight are you giving FE here?

At the $20s, you have very substantial folding equity even with just 3xBB.

I took this to mean something more than just the SB/BB situation, that this was a little more universal. Let me know if I misinterpreted this thought.

I've seen you mention Shania a couple of times now. WTF are you talking about? Thanks

I think folding here preflop is terrible. Depends on a few factors whether I'd raise or just call. (Most of the time I'd raise here)

Re: steal with A-rag this early?
 

I should have expressed myself more precisely. I meant that you have surprisingly strong FE in the SB and button positions, and also that you have enough FE to justify protecting it by pushing with a wide range UTG 4-handed.

OK, that sounds a lot different than

Saying that you won't is rubbish, at least for the lower levels. At the $20s, you have very substantial folding equity even with just 3xBB.

This sounds like it advocates 'stealing' from positions other than described above, which is what I would disagree with.

Regardless, I only partially agree with your statement, maybe like 70% or so. Especially the 4 handed one. The other stacks would be so mammoth in comparison to your stack, it would be hard for them not to call, at least it would be hard for me.

maybe i play bad but the 25-50 level i'm still in my ultra tight mode...
