Rush Poker Strategy 5. - The Big Blind

The big blind is the only position at the table, from which one can not fold immediately. After all, one has the money for the BIG BLIND already been invested. Only when there is a raise, QuickFold you can. This is true in the previous section are therefore not for the big blind, especially in ungeraisten pot. He had not the ability to fold his hand quickly, and when it is folded to you on the button or the small blind, call your raise means to be not necessarily a closer range. Therefore, most light 3-bets count so far from the big blind. In any other position would you not wait to finally be your turn, then beds with some marginal hands to 3. One would fold and move on.
 The big blind is not in that. So he waits impatiently, is nervous, and the 3-Steal Raises embeds much more frequently than from the small blind. Of course, not everyone plays opponents as the Big Blind, but you should be aware.
