Default Re: Stealing the blinds in NLHE

It sounds like you're mixing tourney thinking with cash game thinking.

Blind stealing doesn't really happen at higher stakes and if it does to a small extent then ppl are doing it on roughly the same frequency anyway so this isn't where you make your money. LP raises are much more likely to be a semi-bluff blind steal than pure so if/when they get called at least they have some chance of flopping a decent hand.

If you watch rather than play 25/50NL then I suppose it looks like "wow if i had the roll, all I'd have to do is steal a couple of blinds an hour and I'll make money" but it obviously doesnt work like that.

I also think you'd be better off discussing this tactic, I don't know many other ppl that do this and this really isn't optimal play IMHO.

What it comes down to, when changing raising amounts, is that I believe that my standard open pfr should change with my position. 4xbb all the way to mp3, then 2xbb all the way to the SB. No matter what my cards are.
