My SB play sucks at 1/3 blind structure, please help...
 
I thought I had my SB play down pretty well, (pretty close to even over 200k hands of 2/4), but since moving to 3/6, my SB play has become a major soft spot. Anyone got some good advice for me, specifically in unraised pots?

Thanks in advance...

What is your % for folded SB to a steal. You should be completing a lot less at 1/3 structure than at 1/2 structures. I would think about stealing more when it is SB vs. BB & limping less. I'd also post your steal% when you are SB vs BB.

I don't have enough hands to make those numbers really meaningful, I just know I am playing too loosely. Specific questions are med/weak aces, connectors/suited cards in multi-limped, unraised pots with non-maniacal BB's. I feel like I'm completing way too much here (16% calls from SB...), I also may be raising loosely? KTo with one loose-limper? 77 in the same spot? A5s?

Wouldn't you want to steal less HU in the SB? The only reason I can think of to steal more is BB might suspect you're not stealing as you have to pay a lot to raise, but most people at 3/6 don't think that deep.

I would search the forums for blind play discussions. I would also make sure I'm playing .50/1 or 1/2 until I have a firm understanding of the game in most aspects. Poor blind play and average other play will put you in the negatives so make it as cheap as possible.

Is that a dig?

My point with steal more was you should complete less & raise more. You shouldn't necessarily play more hands. At a 1/2 blind structure I show that I complete more hands & at 3/6 I'm raising more. This is only when SB vs BB.

Ah, gotcha.
