Don't know what to make of those numbers though. Any insight?
With those number you can compute the risk reward. For example, if you open to 3bb in SB, from what percentage of fold to steal do you make an immediat profit?
breakeven % = RISK / (RISK+REWARD)
When you open 3bb in SB, you put 2,5bb in the pot to win 1bb+0,5bb = 1,5bb so the RR is 2,5 / (2,5+1,5) = 0,625. This means that if villain folds his BB more than 62.5% of the time, you make an immediate profit even if when you are called, you check fold 100%. If your open your SB 2,5bb, you make an immediat profit if BB fold more than +-57% of the time. Not to mention that you still have equity and playability postflop.
I know players who fold more than these figures, against them, I open my SB 100% of the time because I make an auto profit (until they prove to me that they can adapt). If you do 1-risk reward, you get the minimum defense frequency to prevent villain from making an immediate profit and exploiting you.
