adjusting to blind 3bets when stealing a lot more

How big are you opening from the BU when you have active blinds? Obviously 2.5x'ing or even minraising is best when we have very active blinds. This gives us higher implied odds when villain 3bets (especially if he can't size well).

Also, it's crazy how much it helps to play around with Pokerstove in spots like these. It's pretty simple (especially for somebody of your skill level) to create a range that we can 1) value 4b; 2) bluff 4b; 3) flat; in this spot. Hands that flop us a lot of equity gives us the ability to maintain aggression against villain (and we can call these hands a lot more since we're gonna start raising the button even smaller). A lot of villains cbet too much (and too large) which makes it quite profitable for us to try and take the pot away on the flop. Think of it as "floating" preflop, I guess.

I'm not sure how much that helped since you probably heard this all before. Either way, I'd be interested in responses from others about this spot.

Really depends on their tendencies.

If they are gonna 3bet you light and 5bet jam on you light, you can widen your 4bet value range.

If they are gonna 3bet you light and fold to your 4bets, you can 4bet bluff them more, and flat strong hands like AA/KK and let them spew into you post.

One thing I try to hammer into my head is that we can keep folding to their 3bets over and over, and in general if we 4bet them and take it down one out of 4 times, then we're still breaking even. Even though it feels like we're getting run over.
