Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
I went through my database and took a thorough look at how I am defending the blinds. In the process I also found other areas of my game that did not look good or I think could be improved. The list with my ideas is below. Any further feedback would be highly appreciated!
Potential leaks:
1. Defending BB and SB
I am 3betting too wide and not calling enough. I should be 3betting about 10% on average with 3 players and 15% HU, which is roughly the same range as villains are calling all in with. I should be flatting much more preflop, however I am unsure how wide I should actually be calling IP or OOP. I’m thinking about aiming for flatting in BB IP 60%, BB OOP 40%, SB 30%. Would this be too wide?
Bonus question: How do you change your calling/3betting range as the effective stacks get smaller?
2. Attacking BB from SB (3players)
I think I am not minraising wide enough. How wide would you open?
3. Opening BTN
I think I could open even wider. Especially at smaller stacksizes. How wide would you recommend to open?
4. Opening SB in HU
I could not figure out why I have such a low winrate at 10-17bb stacks. The only explanation I could come up with is that the stacksizes set up for only 2 barrels, so bluffing has less value. A solution could be limping, which would allow for 3 barrels, however limped pots get attacked by villains quite often and I have noticed that my EV is usually smaller when I limp compared to minraising with similar hands. Villains raise limped pots preflop more often than they 3bet minraises. Any recommendations on how to improve my winrate at 10-17bbs?
I am going to try to experiment with having a middle strength limping range vs aggro villains (just below raise/calling range). At the moment I was limping mainly weak hands trying to see a flop and take a stab at it. I think I will keep my range vs aggro villains still fairly wide, minRaise/folding the bottom of my range. Question: How do you react to aggro villains raising your middle strength limping range? 2x I am likely calling with the top of my limping range, but what about 3x or higher? Are you mostly folding to raises?
5. Anything else you might notice from the stats posted?
