The importance of the Blinds

[Dov]

I had an an amazing thought yesterday. We're all here trying to win 1BB/hr or so. Do you all realize that the blinds are .75 big bets in a standard game?

That essentially means that if you get good at stealing blinds and playing blinds, that you can come away winner without playing any other type of hand!

(Just a quick and dirty theory to isolate a particualr concept. I am aware that this is not possible in real world play.)

All Comments and suggestions welcome.

Do not want to rain on your parade but this thought is valid and was had long ago by many others.

Yeah and if you can successfully steal 3 blinds every 2 orbits in a tourney and not play any other hands you will make the final table.
