IMO, not being too active PF is actually a good reason to pick pretty much anything _sometimes_ when it's folded to you. There are 2 reasons for this: 1) people respect your PF raises 2) when you get called and hit a great flop, your hand will be well concealed, because people will not normally put you on bizzare/garbage hands if you havn't played too many pots in a while. Of course, that didn't work for me in that spot.

Playing relatively tight makes stealing with a wide range of hands, occasionally, better than if you do that while playing loose. When you play loose, your big PF hands are the ones that have more value, obviously.

I understand all that and agree with your reasoning. I would use all that to attack every other blind on the board.

My point was more "why try to steal the blind of the only player who can break you with T5s"?

If I'm 2nd stack at the table I tend to avoid the one guy who can break me unless I have a good holding.
