Blind Stealing

It is profitable to steal from the blinds provided you steal against the right opponents (ie tight opponents who rarely 3 bet resteal and fold too much).
For example a minraise on button in an unopened pot needs to work only 58% to be profitable assuming you have no postflop value.
Use the calculator below to work out how profitable stealing in relation to raise size and folding equity preflop.
The calculator makes the assumption that you have no postflop value, in practice this is a poor assumption to make because even 72o can flop a monster once in while.



Input values on form to calculate how succesful stealing needs to be to be profitable.

Online poker rooms make their money by automatically taking a cut of the players stake money, this is called the "rake". Typically the rake is 5% of every pot, you will often see it being taken and stacked at the top of the table during a game. Playing a few hundred hands a month soon accumulates a large amount of rake, and you could be paying tens of thousands of $$$ a year in rake. Get up to 60% of your rake money back with RakeTheRake.

Rush Poker

Full Tilt has recently released Rush Poker. It is has much faster game mechanism meaning more hands per hour. This allows more action excitement rarely are waiting for action. Although the games are nittier preflop which means there some are adjustments needed to make your game more profitable.

Don't quick fold anything playable from the small blind, button , cut off there plenty of stealing opportunities due to the people quick folding too readily.

Another aspect is the players sitting at the table are randomised. This makes it really hard to get reads on a player. I suggest you use the Full Tilt notes system to tag players who are regulars or just plain bad so you can adjust your hand range accordingly.

Another factor about rush poker is the sheer volume you can play thus playing without rakeback can really hurt your bottom line. The maximum rakeback at Full Tilt is 27% but if you sign up you can get a 100% $600 deposit bonus.
