PT attemted to steal blinds %

[lmw]

After about 15,000 hands i have a attemted to steal blinds % of ~ 11. I generally play a TAG game. This % seems like it would have to be low, but i am worried that an increase in attempting to steal the blinds might have a butterfly effect on my entire game. Should i be stealing more, and what kind changes do i also need to make to my game, if i start trying to steal the blinds more often? Obviously the nature of the opponents in the blinds would dictate how aggressivly i need to attack the blinds, so maybe someone could give me advice for playing against different types of players

my technique is to do it with mediocre hands. just to have something to fall back on if i get called lol.

Steal from rocks and TAGs who don't defend enough.

I don't think I ever steal yet my number is 19.5%. I'm just value betting I think. I'm not really sure what the stat means except bluffing pre first in, late w the intent to win the blinds preflop.

i have 35% but thats in 6-max

I see it this way. If the action comes to me and I'm button or cutoff and everyone's folded, my hand only has to be better than 2 or 3 others. Players are going to be playing their sb and bb hands as if they are competing with 6 or 9 hands. Furthermore, if you get called, you have position on the flop. So I think steals are good.

Now, if the villain in sb or bb defends, things get trickier.

On a side note, I find stealing works way, way better if you don't hesitate.
