Re: Re-stealing
Another thought regarding my 3rd criteria and how it isn't a formula to be followed by rote.
If I guy steals my BB the 1st time, and then the next 2-3 times he has a chance to steal and doesn't, I can be confident that the 1st steal was some kind of real hand. So when he finally puts in another raise in the same position, I treat it as steal attempt #1 and go from there. Don't just count the # of attempts, keep in mind the # of times he had the opportunity and didn't take it.
As I said in the last post, criteria 3 is very subjective. Keep in mind that some players play the same way all the time, and others will open up their game, or tighten up, as the tournament progresses. It pays to know how everyone is playing, what their standard lines are, and if/when they change gears. Keeping notes helps a lot.
Be good,
Augie
