This seems fairly standard. There was a good discussion about this a while ago, sorry I'm too lazy to find it. The basic idea is that it was better to raise garbage rather then a hand that had some value, since you don't want to be blown off a hand with some value while you can happily muck garbage. As far as blind play goes, NEVER just complete your blind if you and BB are HU, always raise or fold. Same goes for your BB, if SB just completes you should raise him always. For the people who think you will be punished for this, exactly how often do you think this situation arises? Not nearly often enough for someone to figure out what you're doing. Of course if someone does pick up on it then you need to shift gears. JMO
