Got my small blind locked and loaded

    Default Got my small blind locked and loaded

    Playing CO and Button almost comes naturally due to my aggressive nature at the table. But playing in these damn blinds is gonna take some work. Im thinking my SB completion % is somewere in the neighborhood of zero. Fold or raise...always! Is this standard or should I be completing more often and seeing more flops for cheap, or just keep up the aggression? (keep in mind i solely play 6-max)

    ok so here it is:

    (3 is narrower if villain's PFR is < 15%)

    When it's folded to the blinds im raising:
    Any Ace, K5+, Q7+, J7+, sc's, one gappers, any pp. and just dumping the rest to give my steals some credibility.

    In a limped pot im raising:
    any PP, A8o+, A7s+, any 2 broadways, and if the table is nitty enough ill throw in some sc's to balance it out

    When someone in an earlier position raised im squeezing:*

    Any PP, A10s+, and suited broadways

    *if its an aggro villain on the button im throwin in a few extra bluffs and resteals

    i play tighter than this out of the sb usually.
    Flopping quads and boats like its my job

    It depends on who limped or raised if there is action already.

    If there is no action, then it depends on how often the BB defends. If he's playing lots of tables and clicking his auto-fold box a lot then I'm opening very wide.

    i don't mind raising a wide range when it is folded to my sb, but raising that wide after limpers is spew imo. you often get into multiway pots with marginal hands OOP.

    how are your results from this? I imagine nobody adjusts, cos distinguishing squeezing from 3-bet monsters doesn't happen that much low stakes. Everytime I try I seem to run into AA or KK...

    Im not sure how to paste pictures from PT but SB position stats are as follows:
    VPIP=38.46
    Cold Call PF %=0
    Win % in SB=29.27
    BB won/hand=11.90
    Went to SD %=60

    From another thread, I like the way I played this one.

    $1/$2 No Limit Holdem
    PokerStars
    3 players
    Converted at weaktight.com

    Stacks:
    BTN ($91.80)
    Hero ($235.75)
    HeIIo, Jerry ($240.25)

    Pre-flop: ($3, 3 players) Hero is SB
    2 folds, Hero calls $1, HeIIo, Jerry raises to $8, Hero calls $6

    Flop: ($18, 1 players)
    Hero checks, HeIIo, Jerry bets $11, Hero raises to $30, HeIIo, Jerry calls $19

    Turn: ($78, 1 players)
    Hero bets $50

    The problem is that some people play the BB too tight because they are playing lots of tables and don't feel it's worth the defense.

    My other thought is that some people will raise any limp from the BB then auto-bet any flop which makes them vulnerable to having the tables turned back on them once in a while.
