(stud8) what hands do you defend against steals with?

In your experience, what percentage of the time does the BI fold?

i really have no idea, and of course it depends on who the bring in is. if BI is tight then open up your late position raising range, and if BI is very loose then fold some of the weaker hands you would normally raise with and make him pay with strong hands.

it's a very high% when you have an A door, so not completing (xx)A is horrible when ur right next to the bringin. but none of the hands i listed are actually bad hands, so it's not like u need the BI to fold a huge % of the time.

Completing any 3 is silly, because part of the goal of stealing is to get the other guy to fold, and to show an automatic profit he needs to fold a lot. You get called a LOT more in stud/8 I think.

Also don't forget you're picking on the same guy every time. He's gonna get wise and play back at you, more likely than not.

At $5/10 it's $5 for $9.5. Not completing most hands in 1 position off the BI is for loose-passive fish games. I mean honestly maybe I'll fold if I have 8-T showing, but not that much else.

The gy being picked on is not going to have an easy time to wise up, because such steal opportunities are fairly uncommon.

[RustyBrooks]

But he's getting like 15:3 or 15:4 to call, right? (I don't know the BI for 5/10... $1?)

[roggles]

Typically a hand that flat calls from the BI will fold to a bet if he does not catch a low card on 4th, especially if you have a high card showing.

If he catches high and still calls that's pretty scary.
