Re: Blind stealing
There's no magic ratio of BB to effectively steal. Depends on the table. Typically 2.5-3.5 is enough middle to late stages. Stealing blinds in early stages isn't worth it.
Generally, you don't want to push if you have more than 10BB. However, on the right table pushing 11BB-13BB is fine around the bubble. I prefer the standard raise, however.
Stack size. Don't try to steal the blinds of dangerously small stacks (3.5BB or less). Be careful of stealing from large aggressive stacks as they are more likely to resteal. Tight weak large stacks should not scare you in the least unless they re-raise (at which point you KNOW you're beat).
