PFR% from blinds

[JRichman]

I noticed that my preflop raise percent of 13.5% is somewhat lower than what many successful 10/20 6 max players have posted. My other stats (VP$IP 24%, W$SD 55%, W$WSF 41%, etc.) seem to be more or less in line.

I'm thinking that this may be becuase I raise less than most from the blinds. For non-blind positions, my PFR% ranges from 15.5% to 18%. For the SB, it is 12.3%, and for the BB, just 4.9%.

My question: what are other winning 6 max 10/20 players' PFR% from the blinds? And what are the weakest hands you all are raising with here?

For my part, if there are more than one or two players in the pot, I pretty much restrict my blind raises to AA, KK, QQ, JJ and AK. I will usually check with hands as strong as AQ or TT, since I find it very difficult to play these hands out of position if I don't like the flop.

Of course, if it's just me and a limping SB, this all goes out the window, and I raise much more aggressively.

what line do you take after a raise in front of you? call two cold or three bet? it seems to me a high PFR in shorthanded has to come with three betting a good bit.

I basically never cold call a preflop raise in front of me (I've done it only 5 times out of 7,000 hands in my Pokertracker database). It's 3 bet or fold. This is shorthanded, after all.

The hands I 3 bet depend largely on the opponent doing the raising and his position.
