Liberal Blind Defense

[gillabong]

If you think the TAG is a smart player, then I don't think he/she folds enough to make this move. I've been in hands like this before where I try to 4x blind steal, and I know that you know that I'm trying to steal and I know that you will try to re-steal, etc. Just seems way too obvious of a move against a decent player.

If you are going to make a move on the flop regardless of the flop, would a preflop 3 bet be more effective?
