Stealing and isolating a single limper.

[btspider]

Triggered by the 25K checkup topic currently up, i routinely see woefully low steal attempt #'s. While this is often a sample size issue since the situation arises rarely in micro, you guys still need to become more comfortable raising hands.

So here's some questions for you to think about. Take a stab first and hopefully a discussion ensues. I'm not an authority figure of any sort on this, but i think there's some room for improvement here for many people.

1. open raise in MP3?
2. open raise in CO?
3. open raise on Button?
4. folded to you in SB? (what do you raise? what do you open-complete?)
5. 1 limper to you in CO/Button?

(assume you chose two 20-25 ish VPIP players to your left)

6. CO/Button open raises.. what are your ranges in the SB (for raising? for calling?)
7. CO/Button open raises.. what are your ranges in the BB (for raising? for calling?)

(assume CO/Button is a typical 30/5/1.0 player)

so answer these before reading other responses.. then see what your fellow posters come up with.

also read this which i just bumped.
