I am not sure about this!
It is defined as the ratio of button steals to EP raises.
A player who is tight in EP but who steals a lot will have a very high ratio here.
Your stats showed that a high ratio was less profitable, yet surely a high ratio "should" indicate a high awareness of position. The only way to reduce this ratio is by decreasing the "profitable" steals and/or playing more hands in EP.
Could you or anyone else explain why this should be good?
You said that steals should increase as we approach the BB. However, in the SB, while we are more likely to win preflop, IF we are called/3-bet we are more likly to be OOP postflop.
I make more OTB than in SB with steals and more in CO than in SB. Is this usual for everyone?
Do you have any BB/100 ranges for steal% from the 3 steal seats
separately or is there a sample size issue?
