Small Blind Play - Discuss
Im talking about spots where its folded to you in the SB and we have options to either fold or raise.
Im finding that players are calling in the BB way more often than they used to, this gives rise to them having a wider range. They are also floating a ton of flops. And we could say Im seeing alot more 3betting from the BB too but not to the extent of which im seeing a call from BB.
(Note: This is mostly vs regs or players who appear decent stats wise, does not include nits, tags, fish).
Ive been thinkin of counters to all these moves (in no particular order):-
1 - I should say this first, just steal your norm amount vs these types of opps and just see how they adjust.
2 - Tighten up preflop, this is the most obv one. Tighten up a ton and fold more.
3 - This is where Im abit cautious/not convinced, play larger pots OOP. ie. lets start double barrelling, triple barrelling, c/r some turns to floats. (note this implys we havent tightened up much preflop.
4 - Stop cb'ing so much.
These are kinda the general adjustments but each has its flaws.
-Tightening up preflop feels weka when I may fold SB like 5 times in a row. Im not talking super tight but prob just close to my CO opening range (prob a tad tighter than my CO range).
- Betting huge amount postflop kinda feels spewy, opp does have a similiar range to mine in a way. Blind play can produce lots of spewy calls, bets, i dont beleive him spots.
- i gotta stop cbing so much too but c/fing feels nasty, tho i do do it.
Im kinda looking for a small bit of feedback on blind play and get some direction. Ive heard some high stakes players play fairly tight in the SB, is it better to just fold alot of SB spots.
Any thoughts?
