Hello sir,


I am wondering what i should do?
When i have about 15BB and have to resteal to get chips.
With what cards COULD i resteal from an aggresive player?
What cards should i resteal with from a tight player?
Can i resteal from a big stack?


Sorry if my questions where not well explained?

Not sure which 'sir' you are looking for, but I'll take a shot. You COULD resteal with ATC against a very aggro player, but I wouldn't recommend it. Generally speaking, I prefer to have a hand like JQ over one such as A3 in the event that villian actually has a decent hand. The former is less likely to be overwhelmingly dominated when called. I like 2 broadway, any pair, AX, and even suited connectors aggainst an aggro. After all, they could have anything (and they usually don't have much) Against a tight player you need to figure out if he's a tight non stealer or a tight player that still steals when the opportunity presents itself. Tight non-stealers, as in he's passed on the opportunity to steal the last 5 chances, but now he's raising... don't play back unless you really have something. Tight player that will regularly steal you can use pretty much the same guidelines as a loose aggro stealer. I like Ax a lot less against these guys though. You can resteal from a big stack only if your stack is large enough to take a sizable chunk out of his. If not, you're asking for a call and most big stacks will oblige so don't push back unless you are confident that you have the better hand.
I know there are very good posts in the archives on the whole steal/resteal subject (pooh-bah posts I think)

One note about the resteal: Most villians learn pretty quickly that you won't sit idley by and let them rob you. Usually it only takes one resteal by you for them to increase their steal range. So be wary if the button you just successfully restealed on makes an attempt to "steal" an orbit or two later. You may find out the hard way he wasn't kidding this time.

I am going to study this a bit and give it a try as you say
I understand what you mean with the tight players.

Don't resteal against tight villains.

Other than that: Ax, any 2 broadway, suited connectors, pairs

the re steal becomes a very powerful move with this kind of stack and good players will often fold with the slightly better hand

i think its important, depending on the image of the opponent raising, to be aggresive and raise with suited 2 gappers, suited connectors any pair
i prefer to do that than with Arag

once you go below 15 BB you are quickly loosing your equity to re steal, where this means opponents will more than likely call you as your hand range is lowerd

Nice


What should i do with a really big hand?
Is it at that moment better to just call or also reshove?
If i understand it well i should only call if i have a monster(AA KK)
in my hands?
Because we don't wanna be called when we resteal? But with AA KK i should see a flop?

You'll want to be shoving you AA and KK with 15BB on a resteal.

There may be a rare situation where it would make sense to call and shove any Flop, but it's usually best to try to get it in PF. Villains will DEFINITELY remember that next time you resteal
