Re: Taking blinds
[ QUOTE ]
I've stopped going after the blinds so heavily, and I'm going much deeper into tournies and cashing a lot more often. But that's just me, Indy [/ QUOTE ] I really though I was the only one to experience this.

Re: Taking blinds
I've lost tournaments on being stubborn out of the SB and BB, for something that started out so small, turned into a 'who's gonna back off first' type battle.. then I get pot commited with like 2-7.

Also slowed down in BB defense against 2xBB PFR's with marginal hands. Calling because I have odds and catching a small piece of the flop was putting dents in my stack too often.

Re: Taking blinds
[ QUOTE ]
I guess we view this differently. If someone shows trash after stealing/pushing, I tend to believe them the next time they do it. [/ QUOTE ] I think a poor player that shows his crap will continue to bet/raise with crap, because he doesn't understand the concept of setting someone up. I've seen this thing again and again. If it's a good player it really could go either way.

They think they are hot [censored] and will likely continue to try to pull off spectacular steals, because that's what they think good poker is.

Re: Taking blinds
Slowing down protecting blinds and stealing blinds may have you lasting longer in some tournaments. However, it's probably more of a reflection of a person's post flop skills if they are having trouble raising with crappy hands, and not at all an indication that you should stop stealing blinds or defending with marginal hands when you should be. Who cares about lasting longer in tournaments anyawy?
