Loose Blind Steals - the LAG Approach

by PokerStrategy.com



3.2. Open complete in the SB

This move, as long as it isn't overplayed, is probably the simplest steal with the best risk-reward ratio. If you open complete from the SB with pot odds of 4:1 on a 5-handed table with blinds of 100/200 and 25 ante, the pot on the flop is already 525 chips. If you bet 300 now, you ultimately bet 400 on a pot of 525, which gives you pot odds of more than 1:1. If the opponent folds in two out of three cases, you will be extremely successful without risking too many chips.

Some opponents almost inherently raise against any open completed small blind. Against these kinds of players this approach makes little sense, but also gives you a good approach for slowplaying high pocket pairs.
