Late Blind Stealing

[Stormwolf]

doenst make too much difference they are going to move in on you if they think your stealing, its unlikely you will be called, any raise commits to calling an all-in and I think the hand that will do best on an all-in situation here is k6o

K6o will do the best? huh?

33 does best. I raise with every one though.

7-5..

I prefer to steal with junk, so if the blinds come over the top all in, I'm not tempted to call.. with ace-rag, I might be tempted, thinking he's on a small pp and I'm racing...

with 7-5 it's a much easier fold..

I didn't answer the poll - all of these are potential blind stealing hands.

By definition, a blind steal is any hand you raise with but fold to a reraise. Otherwise, it's a value raise. Blind stealing has much more to do with stack sizes, position, and images than with hand values. Start thinking about your image, the stubborness/aggressiveness of the players left to act behind you, and tourney considerations when thinking about blind stealing. Note, you can make decisions like this before your cards are even dealt to you.

I couldn't agree more. If I have folded preflop the 4 previous hands, I'd steal with any of those hands. If I have raised the last 4 consecutive pots, of those hands I'd only raise with 33 and fold the others.
