Default Re: All-in vs. blinds

I've been having a bad streak lately - and bad streaks tend to make me wonder if theres anything wrong with my game. If theres anything this must be it!

When blinds go up to 50/100 is when I usually start opening up and becoming more agressive. Problem is that I may be getting a little too agressive a little too early if I have a decent stack. I think I need to wait till blinds are at least 100/200 and were down to at least 4 players before I make moves like these. Do you agree?

I agree with your comments about risking too much to win very little. I hate trying to steal the big blind from the small blind. If I make a smaller raise and get called I'm really in a very bad spot. I'm not a big fan of putting money into a pot where I'll be heads up, out of position, and with a mediocre hand. Thus if I'm going to raise here its all-in. However better options may be to just call so I can get away cheaply if I miss the flop, or simply fold and wait for a better situation.
