Default Re: SB vs. BB - Marginal Hand Vs. Tight BB

Pokerstove is more useful than you might think. I'll provide some numbers later.

He's VERY tight. Like I mentioned above, VP$IP is 7%. PT is marking him TPA after 60 hands.

i'm pretty sure you're mis-using the technical tools available to you. pokerstove is about hot/cold equity without regard to postflop play. it can be useful in limit, but only as a crutch for further analysis.

at the same time, 60 hand reads of vp$ip are highly unreliable and the way you are using them is terrible. your opponent could be 20/15 or 12/6, and you won't be able to tell from 60 hands, yet youre making oneway assumptions that will cost you bets.

what is really relevant is how BB will defend an SB open-raise preflop and postflop (specifically on the flop). you can't know this, although the information you have supports a raise.
