Blind Stealing Profitablity (inspired by HUSH post)

shant · #1 08-04-2005, 05:57 PM

There is a really cool thread in HUSH right now that I think would be useful to players here who are trying to up their blind stealing % but aren't sure how profitable it is.

For those of you with PT, make sure you turn on only one level of play in the Preferences. Choose the level you have the biggest sample at that you have been actively blind stealing. Next, follow these directions:

On the "general info"(main) page of PokerTracker, click the "Filters" button on the right side of the page about halfway down. Select "not a blind" and "chance to steal and RAISED", then click OK. Then on the "Totals" line of the middle section on the main page, write down "Net" and "Times". Repeat this process this time filtering for "not a blind" and "chance to steal and CALLED". Repeat it one last time for "not a blind" and "chance to steal and FOLDED". Then just add them up to get a "Total Net" and a "Total Times". Divide the net by the times to get $/occurence and divide that result by the size of a BB ($10 for 5/10 for example) and you will have "BB per opportunity".

For my 31K sample at 3/6 full, I get these numbers:
"chance to steal and raised" = +$861 on 377 times
"chance to steal and called" = +$13 on 6 times
"chance to steal and folded" = $0 on 834 times
__________________________________________________ ________

TOTAL = ($874 on 1217 times)/6 = +.119 BB/opportunity.

These are my results from 3/6 when my Attempt to Steal Blinds% was only 33%. My current ASB% is 42, but I'm waiting for a good enough sample before I check those results.

What are your results and what is your ASB%?

19k at 3/6 full:

Chance to steal and raised = +$737.50 on 315 times
Chance to steal and called = +$36.50 4 times
Chance to steal and folded = 0 on 590 times
__________________________________________________ _

TOTAL= ($774 on 909 times)/6 = +.141 bb/opportunity

My ASB is 34.46

Over a measly 6k hands at 3/6 (I moved to 6-max once it opened, and now to 5/10):

Chance to steal and raised: 72 times, $231
Chance to steal and called: 2 times, -$9
Chance to steal and folded: 187 times, $0
__________________________________________________ ________
TOTAL: 261 times, $222, .142 per opportunity, ASB = 32.55

57k 2/4 over the summer.

"chance to steal and raised" = +$1717 on 950
"chance to steal and called" = -$21 on 10
"chance to steal and folded" = $0 on 1647

total = +0.1626BB/oppourtunity

Att. to steal = 38.19%
