Squeeze Play/Blind Stealing/Preflop Stealing

[nodepositneeded]

I'm going to address this with my thoughts a little later tonight.

The idea of this thread came from discussions between eejit101 and myself about the various plays that are in the title of this thread.

Basically, eejit101 has started to use these plays too often and in some bad spots, and I don't use these plays often enough.

So we're hoping that we can use this thread to better both of our own games, and in the process help everyone else by getting a good discussion going.

Stay tuned for my comments, and please let everyone know your own thoughts as well!

Ok eejit i got a lot of sleep and i am ready to talk about this post.

My first comment about the squeeze play is that it is very important to start doing this when you are in a MTT and the blinds are high. Also the best time i found is to do this around the bubble spot because thats when people want to sit and make money....You have to watch out for other people that know about this. My best experience was in a Tounrey with around 200 people and we were at 48 people left and i was sitting in 20th...... the money was at 42 people so i started to make a lot of squeeze plays. It worked out great untill someone else at my table was doing it as well and we were seroiusly winning evey other hand...we were alternating. i moved up to 9th by doing this with 42 to go and then i stopped.

And the only time i read about making squeeze plays were in D Negreanu book(small ball). he says the best time would be in the samll blind and attack limpers with it. so if you got 2 limpers and he says raise to about 70% of the pot and you will win 70% of the time.

about blind stealing it is important but then agian its not at all. i played in a 10 person sit-n-go and i didnt play a hand because i wanted to caculate how many hands i get per blind and when do i need to start playing...
I found out that around 75-150 blinds you would be around 1100 depending on how many people are gone by then. And four people were gone already in the tounrey i sat out for.

it was about 6 hands per blind for the first 3 blinds 5/10......10/20.........15/30 that is 18 hands dealt so you lose around 2 blinds....i can wait for aces lol

then it started going 9 to 12 hands around the table for 25/50.....50/100......75/150 so this is when you need to start turning it on but you can still wait.....(blind stealing). The great thing about this is people veiw you as a very tight player and all you did was wait around for aces. So blind stealing is a lot my successful now....

i hope i made some sense out of this....haha any question let me know...




i have done something like this before i really like this comment thanks buddy
