well, i think this is why it's an application of stacksize theory. winnign the blinds here is nice, but its not the ultimate goal. when your stack is the size mine was there, i don't NEED to win the blinds. sure, its still a blind steal, and i still want to win the blinds, but i don't mind sacrificing a small % of my ability to steal the blinds in exchange for other factors. mainly here its the chance to win BB's stack when he resteals. it will be a gamble when i call his push, but i think the EV is there.

witht the smaller raise i fell my steal % is still decent, although not quite as high as if i made a larger raise. and its also givingg BB the chance to make a bigger mistake. when i raise bigger he'll usually play more/less correctly against me FTOP wise, and i'll be the one making a mistake.
