Poker Pre-flop Calling Odds Part3
The next time you play in your regular game, keep track of every time the pot is raised before the flop. Watch the big blind and record the result of how he plays. Count only those hands where the big blind stays in the whole time and turns his hand face up at the end of the hand. Do not include hands in which the big blind does not play to the river or call a bet on the river.
All you need to keep track of is whether the big blind wins the hand. Keep two separate records: one for those times when other players call a preflop raise in the big blind, and one for those times when you're the one in the big blind.
Practice this exercise for two consecutive playing sessions. Compare your winning percentages to those of the other players. For the next two playing sessions, after that, just keep track of how you fare when calling raises before the flop in the big blind.
Your winning percentage should improve as you keep correct big blind play in mind. Record your results and keep them where you can easily find them later. After you've completed this book and a year or so has passed, try checking yourself again and comparing those results to the first time you tried this strategy. Good luck!
