Not sure Isap means, but I'll give it a shot anyway...PT says I steal 30-40% of the time. I think T3o is very firmly in the 60-70% of the hands I wouldn't steal with. Since you did though, I suppose you're wondering about the flop call. I think it's marginal but not terrible. Rainbow flop helps, but I hate drawing to a non-nut straight on half your OESD. Still, I don't think I'd play it differently (other than PF).Jeff

I don't normally steal with T3o, but if I post in the CO and it is folded to me, I'm raising almost every time.

I see your point, but it appears that by posting you should be even LESS likely to make the steal attempt. This is because your opponents in the blinds have greater odds to call thanks to your post. Just a thought.Jeff

they're getting the same odds either way

If a blank falls on the turn, are you still folding if the action is the same?

What am I missing then:a) You don't post, but you're in the CO and steal 1.5 SB in the blinds+2.0 SB your raise------- 3.5 to 1 for the BB to callB) You post and steal in the CO 1.5 SB in the blinds 1.0 SB your post 2.0 SB your raise------ 4.5 to 1 for BB to callDid I screw up or is that not the same?Jeff

FYP.The posted bet is a bet that gives the poster the option to check their hand (if it hasn't yet been raised) or to raise themselves. But they've in essence called the Big Blind before they've seen the cards.
