I'm not raising enough PF in 1/2 and 3/6 6-max

there are rarely opportunities to steal, as most people I play with are 50% VPIP and up. and when there are opportunities, no one ever folds the blinds at these limits.

still, i should be raising all but the junkiest when i do have the opportunity?

Not so much at these levels, you want something half decent as you are liekly going to be called but take advantage of folding at least one blind and being in LP [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Suited Ks, Qs, offsuit As etc

i've gotta grow a bigger pair of balls is what i think. thanks for all the input guys...i'll let you know if i can make the leap.

Vag, have you filtered your stats to see what you are winning when raise when you have an opportunity to steal blinds? It was very eye opening to me. To say you can't steals at 1/2 is totally wrong, my steal % is 30 and over 60% of my winnings are from steals. My winrate when stealing is 49 bb/100. Furthermore, if I look at opportunity to steal where I just called (small sample), I am still positive, which means I should be stealing more.
I think one advantage at lower limits is that many people don't even realize you are trying to steal, so they give you credit for a better hand than you have.

that's a really good idea, but how the hell do you do it?

(I have PT)

[vabogee]

N/M, figured it out...and you're right! it's a large percentage of my total wins. i'm going to study the stats some more. thanks!

Just curious what is your bb/100 when raising when stealing and when not raising when you have an opportunity to steal?

[vabogee]

in 12,000 hands this month, it's almost 55BB/100 when attempted to steal, and -2BB/100 when just called. But the second stat is gleaned from a total of 73 hands. pretty crazy regardless.

[Megenoita]

Not to hijack this thread, but yeah, pretty much to hijack it, what is the consensus on this new 3/6 6 max in terms of profitability? Is it better than the full tables for bb/100?

thanks,

I'm bw'ing at Paradise $1/$2 5-max right now and my rake is 3.5-3.6%. How bad is it at PartyCo? [FYI Paradise is .25 per $5 pot up to $1 rake; Party is .50/$5, .75/$12, $1/$20]
I'm not at my computer right now but this statistic is in one of the right-side tabs of PokerTracker...

steal % = 18.28
PFR out of blinds = just under 4%
