Default Re: Blind Steal Sqush

Ugh, I fold this preflop and don't give it a second thought.

If you have that many chips at level 2, you're already in great position to win this later on by aggressively stealing blinds, and you're certainly not looking to get in a confrontation holding Q9o with a stack that can bust you. Let him have those 30 chips.

On the flop, the raise is good if you think he's just making a c-bet and will fold. The turn bet is good, especially if you think he'll fold something like middle pair. If he calls that bet (or raises), you're definitely screwed and should fold. Not many rivers I'd want to bet if he checks to me (maybe a third 9 or a T), and I would only call the smallest of river bets here unless I to trips or better.
