iS JUST CALLING A STEAL RAISE IN LATE POSITION A GOOD TACTIC?
oops, had caps on, pardon.
I've noticed that certain players are just calling my late position steal raises when I make this raise from the cut off or one off of the cutoff. I make my continuation bet and they call, I give up on the turn and they bet, I have to fold.
Is this a good tactic (calling a steal) to employ versus using the steal reraise?
I recently fired two bullets on a board of 10d/3d/8/3. The button called, the river was an 8 and I checked, button turns over 10/J. I had A/6.
I don't know if this is a good tactic, but it sure is screwing me up because my steal raises just aren't working
I typically 3x the BB with my raises. I play really tight at the beginning and even to the extreme to appear as passive and wimpy as possible. When the tourney progresses, I open it up and have pretty good succes because people are perceiving me as being a tight nut peddler.
I assume the only answer to deal with these position calls is to read and react well.
Any advice?
