During the game, I try to remember that both the big and small blinds are the worst positions at the table. After the flop action always starts with the small blind. In this situation, the difference with the big blind is insignificant. You can say that even the best poker pros lose money in this position. One of the most common mistakes at the beginning of my poker game is that the frequency of calling from both blinds is too high. First, you need to understand that the blind is not an investment that automatically binds you to the pot. In fact, any blind increases the pot's chances, but not to the extent that you can enter any raise with any two cards. The ability to build an effective defense means having an individual approach to the specific situation and the players at the table.
The key to understanding when it is most profitable to start fighting for the blinds is the position. The closer the preflop raises come to the button, the wider their ranges. That's why I'm where the next raise came from. Then you should act according to the circumstances: fold your hand, raise or call. The earlier the player's actions are on the preflop, the tighter I play. In turn, if the openraise came only from the button, I think it would be more logical to expand your own range and at the same time put on a wide range of this player. During decision-making about the protection, I also forget about the style of operater.
If my opponent is playing a tight game, he will not enter the pot even with a loaf, unlike less traditionally minded players. I keep track of my opponents, remember what positions they had and what hands they raised. This will help me make the correct adjustment to the protection range.
Life is a game , play beautiful
