Defending the blinds

GutPunch · #1 02-28-2005, 02:43 PM

I have found that I lose the most money in the blinds, as I do not know how to properly play from them/defend them. Are there any guides out there that help out with play from the blinds?

Thanks

HEPFAP - Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players has a great section on heads-up play that should help you out.

What do you mean by this? Everyone loses money in the blinds. (Hopefully, you make money in every other position.) The quesiton is, how much? My long term has been -.15BB/100 in the big and -.09BB/100 in the small. My gut feeling is that this represents running a little good (though I have no data to back that up).

That said, read the short-handed forum and, of course, HEPFAP.
