Well I'm trying to sync up some stats to get an idea of game context. Just because he's in some normal stat range doesn't make them good plays. Generally in a tight game you have more chances to steal blinds, but if he's playing in a tight game why is he playing rather loose preflop? He doesn't really have a sample size large enough to make any real judgements either way.

uh you are misunderstanding the stat, its basically, whenever its openfolded to you in the CO or BTN a raise is considered a steal attempt

so if you play in a very loose game, you won't have many opportunities to steal, but should still be stealing a fair % of the time you have the chance, its dependent on the blinds, and if in a tight game you'll have more opportunites and should steal more

I just figured there is a gradual increased from EP to MP then MP to LP. His numbers seem to have that nice increase from EP to MP and MP to the CO but then all of a sudden his numbers are off the charts on the button. ...

I believe this is directly related to stealing the blinds. The tables are sometimes so tight if it is folded around to me I will always raise from the button to steal the blinds, with pretty much anything.

I understand what the stat means but I have always thought you are less likely to steal, because it will be less successful, in a loose game or versus loose blinds because they are gonna call anyway.

So you are saying no matter how the blinds play you should be raising 30%+ of your hands in the CO and button when it is folded to you?

It's just hard for me to have a hard number for steal attempts when I am not sure about his game context.

Well hopefully at least 30% of the hands you play on the button are folded to you, they definately are in 1/2, less so in .50/1 and lower.
