Blind Stealing Profitablity (inspired by HUSH post)

What's the point of any of the stats we use if it's not compating them to other people? They're all sort of useless unless others use the same metrics.

Whether or not filtering out hands would produce a more accurate answer is debatable. Which hands define a blind steal is too subjective to come to any conclusion on the matter most likely, so it would be really tough to get everyone on the same page.

41,450 hands at 2/4:
Chance to steal and raise. 521 hands. $925.50.
Chance to steal and call. 22 hands. $10.50.
Chance to steal and fold. 1,549 hands. -0-
Total = 0.112 BB/opportunity.

21,000 hands at 3/6:
Chance to steal and raise. 315 hands. $396.
Chance to steal and called. 7 hands. ($9.50)
Chance to steal and folded. 882 hands. -0-
Total = 0.0535 BB/opportunity.

When comparing to the cash stolen from me while in the blinds I was breaking even at 2/4. Bleeding money at 3/6. I could try to write it off to variance, but it may just be that I am too weak in my blind play.

Do you think I need to increase my ASB?
Will it help to mix up my game by calling more often?
Anyone care to get back into some discussion about blind stealing/defending?

It's a new quarter, and I want to bump this thread for anybody who's joined in the last three months or so. This post is one of the easiest to implement and most profit-increasing posts I've read in my two years on 2+2.

Should be required reading.
