I searched for a chart which helps me to defend my SB if it got raised.
Is there any chart out or have I to try on my own?
I read in an article that I need 43% equity against the raiser and than have to adapt the range towards the BB.
So, firstly, is this equity number right and how should I adapt the 3-betting range towards the BB?
Are there any possible hands where I can coldcall out of the SB? I think not but I ask, so I can be sure...
in there is a 3-betting vs open raising chart chart ( the entry behind the / is for the SB)
ok, little bit of math to see how we have to adapt to the BB's range:
we pay 2,5sb and the pot already contains (1+0,5+2)sb+1sb which the raiser is going to call.
Our pf odds are 4.5:2.5 or 1.8:1 which means we need an equity of approximately 36%.
However, we are oop, BB might cap, the raiser might cap, so if we just assume the 36% are enough we are long term losing money.
Thus the 43% equity look good, but bein a little bit tighter is probably also ok (45% maybe).
Depending on how tight the BB is we raise more, if he is very loose we should probably raise less.
About the cold calling hands. Normally dont coldcall against just a steal raise, as we encourage the BB to also play a large number of hands and play oop 3-handed very often (not good!). if there is a limper and then someone raises coldcalling with hands like KQs/QJs or PP is allright
Im playing Fullring .25/.50 atm and i heard that SB/BB defence can be used here to?
Im still not getting this whole concept tbh. It would be nice if someone wrote a litle article or thread explaining this concept a litle bit better? I know i would benefit from it...and so do the others.
It aint explained in detail at the Shorthanded article in the Silver section.
