ducbim, I think you would really like my free NLHE Foundations Course.

I just now saw this, but none of this negates the value of learning to appropriately steal blinds.

For what it's worth, if you're on the BB you're not out of position.

This thread needs a bump but I decided to throw out a nifty-looking chart this time.
