Message: [QUOTE="Figaroo2, post: 3944685, member: 103914"] Lol....yeah amazing John still being around......fancy that. (And thanks be for that) You are correct that flat calling in the blinds isn't a great tactic. Guys like Polk are pushing some daft calling and 3betting ranges from the blinds. I dont mind that, if you want to have 64s in your polarized 3bet range from the blinds thats fine with me. I think the current trend re calling in the blinds is washing over from the MTT scene where everyone is opening wider and earlier to steal the blinds. I haven't particularly noted steal rates going up massively in cash games. If i am the blinds facing an obvious stealer they cant do much when faced by a raise by a tight player either preflop, flop or by us leading out large on the turn. My advice is to read John's book play for a while and then read it again. [/QUOTE]
