Very good read! I was actually waiting for an article like this, because I have been struggling with steals from others a lot. Now it is time to strike back!#2

In the previous article on SC pushes, it has ranges for profitable pushing from the CO and BU, as well as looser ranges for the SB. Why has this been changed? Is it -EV to use the old ranges?#3

SC push question. 20bb can push with 22+,A2+,KT+,K9+,QTs+. Is that range include QTos? Thanks.#7

Nice article thanks for that. There is just one thing I do not fully understand;"If you steal with 4BB, your steal must be successful in 72.7% of the cases, and if you steal with 3BB in just 66.6% of the cases, i.e. in two out of three cases."
i.e. If you played this 3 times with 0.05/0.10 then you would have invested a total 0.90 (3 x 3bb).
If it worked 66.66% of the time you would have $0.30 profit from the 2x 1.5bb you stole, the third time if you were re-raised AI and folded, it would have cost you $0.30 (3bb).
So if it worked 2 out of 3 times you would not be making profit but breaking even.
I am right in thinking this or did I miss something?
Thanks,
AKM

i have to agree with AKM247no matter how many times i do the math 1.5 x 2 = 3 and 1x3 = 3

So and it is the point:If you want to get the profit, steal have to work at least 66,6%. If more, then you gain if less, you loose.
