Could someone define the parameters of a blind steal??

Sorry for being a moron, but could someone define the accepted parameters of a blind steal. I am having a debate with a friend about a raise from the CO when the button folds

A blind steal attempt occurs when.....

[J.R.]

you open in the CO or beyond per pt

Just open(limping).....not open with a raise??

[B00T]

No, you are raising not limping.

[wowacedude]

yes, limp and hope the BB folds.

[J.R.]

open = raise

as

limping first in = suck

I guess it wasn't a stupid question after all...lol

So is it raising from the CO or button when nobody else has yet to act? When raising from the CO and the Button calls or re-raises, is this still tracked as a blind steal attempt?
