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.
This calculator assumes that if a blind steal is unsuccessful you will lose the hand.
bb/100 is big blinds per 100 hands

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.
