Working on my game---Button defense
Hi all,
I've been playing in some touger games lately and I need to work on my game to keep from being run over. I've gone from playing with 1 or 2 guys that raise around 20% preflop to 4 and sometimes all 5 opps are 20%+. I'm going to make a poll today about which hands you guys defend the button vs a CO raise. At a later date I may do the same with SB hands. Here's the situation. You are on the button, CO's stats are 40/26 and steals 46% of the time. SB is 42/10 and BB is 27/17. CO always peels the flop and will give up on air on the turn.

Re: Working on my game---Button defense
I think that I defend the SB (by 3 betting) much more vigorously than I do when defending the button. For example, sometimes I'll 3bet QTo from the SB... but I don't believe that I have considered this from the Button vs a CO steal. Could someone who has a pretty good grasp on the difference of getting buckwild from the SB defense vs getting buckwild from the the "Button Defense." Perhaps even just a simple general viewpoint could get me started on how to compare/ revise my approach.
Edit: For example... how does posistion compared to, pot odds, initiative, and believeablity of big holdings compare in each spot?

:P cuz button isn't usually "defended" [/ QUOTE ] Ever hear the expression "you should raise that in the CO to steal the button"? Or "if the button's weak you can steal it all day"?

A9o is a clear raise and A5o is a clear fold, where is the cut-off for you guys? For me its A9, I guess I should have added A8o and A7o to the poll.
