Forgoing the blind steals
Whats up people, what is the opinion of everyone of not attempt blind steals against loose passives in 1/2. Same goes with defense how crucial do u all think it is defending against a fish who probably has a had when he raises?

Thus, I virtually never blind steal at .5/1 (21%), I do it more frequently at 1/2 (27%) if I have a read that he's tight, and I do it even more at 2/4 (31%). I also try to keep fairly high stealing standards, making it slightly easier to play postflop, when I try to steal against unknowns. Of course, if you're sitting at good tables, you shouldn't need to blindsteal at all [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Re: Forgoing the blind steals
A huge part of my profit on crypto 1/2 is by blindstealing from MP3 to button. I steal as much as 40-45 % in general on button, almost 70 % against certain players. On party 1/2 I steal like 35 %. Stealing is key!

This where the bulk of your profits come from in tight games. Picking up pots that no one wants. They all add up nicely in the end. Sometimes I win 5 pots in a row just from betting the flop with nothing when I think everyone missed.

Re: Forgoing the blind steals
The question is directed at loose players who will almost always call with overcards. I do my fair share of stealing at 2/4+ ive won enormous pots with nothing. I meant when sb and bb are both fish, should i waste my money.

Re: Forgoing the blind steals
yea I wouldn't steal from loose passives. I meant if I raise on the button with hands like QTo and ace rag. It is because agaisnt loose blinds your hand could be best and you can outplay them after the flop with position. I don't think blind steal situations come up often in games with loose passives anyways. If it does than your relative positions to the tight and loose players are opposite of what they should be.

Even then, though, thats pretty huge, considering how much you end up flooding away from the blinds over the long run.
