Hi. I started here a month ago and I had never played poker before. For the last weeks I've been playing at the .25/.5 limit and I've just started trying .5/1 (maybe too early, I have enough money but I've only played ~8K hands at .25/.5 with 3.74 BB/100H, up to 6 for the last week).
And now with my question. It's about blind wars as they are both annoying and funny.
I first read about blindstealing in the sng articles (I'm playing FL but I read those to play PokerStrategy freerolls
).
Then I read in an article talking about some other thing, I can't remember which one, they're a standard move. So I started attacking every blind I could (except when holding very weak hands or against players I knew would call my raise). It was not bad, I stole enough blinds, but it seems too risky for me.
Reading the bronze SH article it says "poker is always a battle for the blinds". And there I saw the BB defense chart. I've started to use it for FR as I got tired of folding BBs according to SHC. Is this right? Can I use the First-In chart for attacking them too?
If it "is always a battle for the blinds", why don't you have an article on blind wars? ![]()
More questions to follow as I re-read the articles.
Great site. Good job.
