If you are attempting to "steal" the blinds, explain to me why your hand is important.

If you read anything Sklansky ever wrote, when he talks about ante stealing in any poker game, the hands you steal with matter. Stealing is generally a form of semi-bluff. You have two ways to win: successful steal or flop something good. This is why 3-betting is the best defense against steals, as it is also the same recipe you use against a semi-bluff.
