Did you raise with 85o because you thought you had a good chence to steal the blinds? I don't understand raising in this situation with junk to mix it up.

This was from a while ago, but the players in the game I play in are still talking about this hand and how "lucky" I got and what a "terrible call" it was, so I'd like some more opinions.

And, to answer your question, I did think there was a strong chance of stealing the blinds due to my tight image. With blinds of 250/500, any steal helps out your stack.
