attempt to steal
Posted: Thu Apr 22, 2010 12:10 pmHow is the "attempts to steal" calculated? thank you
An Attempt to Steal is an open raise from the cutoff, button or small blind. i.e. a raise when no-one has yet entered the pot (other than penalty blinds).
You can only FACE a blind steal if you are in one of the blinds and face a single raise from one of these positions with no other action since.
(e.g. if the button open-raises, that's a steal attempt. The small blind faces a steal attempt, but if they raise or call then the big blind does not face a steal.)
