Re: Stealing Blinds?
If you're called you can usually win the pot with a bet when its checked to you on the flop. Position here is more important than what cards you are holding in my oppinion. As long as your opponent misses the flop he cant (and shouldn't) call you.
Trying to steal the big blind from the small blind is something I don't usually try without a decent hand. If you're called here you're in pretty bad shape, and I'm not a big fan of putting a lot of money in a pot I'm not the favorite to win. Would rather try to steal the small blind from the big blind after SB completes.
On a similar note, what hands would you defend your blinds with? What hands would you call and what hands would you raise vs. a thief?
