I cannot possibly recount the number of times I've cringed seeing some TAG trying to steal a 30%+ VPIP player. Worse, a 75% showdown player. If one of those players is sitting to your left, give it up, you won't be getting very many blinds at all that session.

When defending the blind, ask yourself why you're defending the blind. Let a player take a few blinds. You don't have to defend them all like a rabid dog. The blind isn't your money anymore. This is poker 101, but it's so easy to forget. The blind in front of you is offering you a discount to see a flop against your opponent, but it doesn't turn Q2s into QJs.

If you are not bad postflop, blind defense even with poor hands usually has more EV than folding.


So, basically your main points are:
-Don't blind steal from loose players (totally disagree)
-Don't defend against players that steal liberally ( [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img])
