Default Re: 11s tight as hell lately?

If they are truly playing tight shouldn't you be stealing more?

What is the point of stealing 15/30 blinds???

It's of course nice if everyone busts in these early levels....but frankly, only as a short stack on level 3 or a medium stack on level 4 can one gain much by stealing blinds (in the 800 chip sngs anyway). As far as I can tell, as long as chips are being dumped from bad mistakes at *some* point during a tournament, the good player gains. Whether most of the bad players want to dump chips earlier or later won't make a huge difference. Tournaments may take a bit longer...but I've seen bad players generally self destruct all at the same time when the blinds get 'higher'....rather than very slowly.
