Button-Steals

by MiiWiin

Especially beginners in the short-handed game have a hard time playing without a starting hands chart and have to adjust their open-raising and stealing ranges from the button to minor reads or information they might have.

This is why we have created a quiz in which we ask you to examine a few spots on the button and you have to decide if this is a spot to steal or not.

Good luck!
