Lesson Title
Steal EV    

In our previous lessons we showed you how to create a Game Plan.  This week, we're developing that idea into a more advanced concept with Steal EV.

Steal EV indicates how much money you need to win after an open raise to show a profit. Knowing this gives you an advantage in that it helps you to define the correct range for open raising preflop.

In this new lesson you will learn how to calculate Steal EV and how you can use it to profit from your postflop play.
