Blind defense or spewing?
My blind defense has always sucked in limit poker. There are usually so many limpers that the situation rarely comes up, so I don't get much practice at it. After several hundred NL SnGs I've started paying a lot more attention to the blinds. Today the situation did come up, three times in short order.
I would have never defended blinds with weak aces in the past, but again, all those SnGs changed my mind. Comments? Hand 1. Villain is 18/7.4/2.36 over a lot of hands. He knows how to steal blinds.
