Default Re: blind stealing requirements?

As a default, I'd say:

A2+, K8+, Q9+, J9+, T9, A2s+, K7s+, Q8s+, J8s+, 22+, 76s+

You can adjust these requirements depending on the tightness and skill of the blinds. Basically pocket pairs and high cards > T become more valuable.

Edit: These are all opening from the button. For the SB, it's more player dependent. BUt if you play full ring games, this occurs so rarely that a decent guideline is to raise any hand you plan to play. Something along the lines of
55+, A7+, KT+, QJ, JT, 76s is a decent start. Note that this is probably too tight, but in a full ring it won't hurt you that much. You have to be tighter from the SB generally with raising since you are out of position the rest of the hand.
