That means you are getting callers almost everytime.

Not with only three potential callers left.

How is it +EV to raise any two cards from the posted CO position? I guess I can see it might be if you steal the blinds every couple times you try it, but the real question is when someone calls you, I think you are bound to lose more money than it's worth trying, especially if the button decides to play and if he raises you just lost another sb.

I just think it's not worth the trouble of raising.

It's a joke.

I agree! Raising to "steal the blinds" is a good play, with
only the dealer and the blinds left in the hand.

No, it isn't.

Guys, I'm not joking. I'll search for the thread I have in SS about this, or get someone who is better than me with equity and math to show why I like this.

Suffice to say, I'm not joking. I like this play.

The only way I don't like this is if button is 100% VPIP.

It really isn't...

Anytime I post and it gets folded to me, I raise no matter what I got. Since I only post in the CO, it is a good play.

come on guys! you should be raising with any 2 cards in this spot. reread the live blinds chapter in HPFAP

that book has lost so much respect since SSH came out. it's a shame. I got a ton out of it

Thanks sthief, Shill.

Everyone, this play is worthwhile because of the extra money from CO's posted blind.

Because you are getting 2.5:1 not the usual 1.5:1, right? that is the part everybody is missing yes?
