You do realize that what is important is not whether you are profitting from blind stealing (which no doubt you are, since you are also raising premium hands here), but whether you are profitting from raising the most marginal of hands. Your total blind steal average is irrelevant because it includes the times when you "steal" the blinds with AA and other obvious raising hands.

But even this is not quite the relevant quantity, because it does not take into account how other people change their play because of your aggressive blind stealing.

Obviously blind stealing is profitable with certain hands. The question is...is it profitable with some of the trashiest of hands? For example, it will increase your overall EV for the session if you open-raise on the button with Qxo whenever x is greater than 9? 7? 5? something else? Of course, the answer would heavily depend on the style of play of the particular blinds at that session, the recent history of hands played, and the likelihood the blinds will adjust their play if you end up showing down Qx in this spot.
