Re: Losing money when in blinds
In the blinds you
1. Have terrible position 2. Usually have terrible cards Good luck not losing alot of money. (PT can keep track of how much you are making in the blinds, MINUS the blind posts, that should be profitable, but the position(s) as a whole are terribly unprofitable) |

Re: Losing money when in blinds
[ QUOTE ]
So, to my question. What is the most common mistake playing in the blinds? Folding to easy when faced a raise, or defending the blind against possible steal attempts? [/ QUOTE ] Use a bit of common sense. Most players are losing players. What is the typical player -- not a good player, but a typical one -- likely to do in the blinds when facing a raise? Bad players play too many hands and call too many raises. The effect on your win rate of playing a few extra hands that you shouldn't can be significant, especially compared to the effect of not playing a hand that maybe you should. Not knowing how you play, and knowing far less than I think I ought about the theory of playing my blinds, I'd say that chances are very, very good that your losses in the blinds will go down if you tighten up on your starting hand requirements in the blinds when you face a raise. |
