that's interesting, but I'd like to return to the latest example on 5th page:I think, if I understand it correctly, then that's dumb to make blind steal from 2nd biggest stack at the table with 5+ BB raise, especially because where a lot of short stacks, but that's on lower limits:
a) if BB repoups- U'r crippled
b) they rarely know that the pot odds are and like to gamble, even more- if the BB shove- pot odds are good enough to call roughtly 2 : 1
... 2.5 BB steal is good enough to create FE and U'r not pot commited... right???
so if this article is addressed to high volume players, then I only liked to know that this steal (5.25 BB) is showing to BB that, if villain shove, then hero is pot commited a) becouse of pot odds b) hero is ready to gamble with hole stack c) hero is creating more FE then it would be in 2.5 BB steal, so villain need's very good hand to re-raise all in and I know that good play will consider theses aspects!!! that's because giga bet is more powerful al higher limits-- am I right???
