    Default restealing the blinds.

    I want to know some more about that, because sometimes i feel somebody is trying to steal the blinds with junk, but i have a junk hand too, so i cant resteal from him.

    I think that thing really doesnt work online, because u have to be really focused to know when thats happening.
    I want more FTP SERIES !!! PLEASE !!

    Yep I saw that in a freeroll, the guy had 56 off and he raised about 6k and when the guy in BB went all in, he had only 2.5k to call its better not to steal

    I love stealin. But you have to be patient when u are trying to steal. And 56 off is not a hand you should be trying to steal with.........

    If you are going to resteal I suggest sizing the bet so that he has horrible odds to call with a bad hand, but if he has a good hand, you will be able to fold easily and not be pot committed. If your hand is good also, let the sparks fly.

    If it is raised 3-4x the BB I usually reraise it to 2.25x or so their bet.....Usually that makes them fold.....

    (Blinds are 1k/2k, pot is raised to 8k, so I would reraise it to 20k)

    Only with a good hand though.........

    After seeing your example, I guess you at least need a mediocre hand....it's hard to not committ yourself when restealing. Unless you are pretty confident that your opponent has crap, only reraise with strong hands.

    Bingo......I never used to steal......Now I steal all the time.....It cause players dont want to get involved like that when its bubble time and you can take advantage of that........but dont mess with the shortstack and bigstacks they WILL call cause they can and might need to...........

    yeah but the thing is when its bubble time most of the time i cant afford to loose any of my chips. So even if i know they are trying to steal my blinds without a good hand, i have to let them take it.

    Not much you can do especially if you're a tight player with a tight image. If you have a tight image and an easy to steal blind image, you should be able to steal some blinds in place of it if your tight image means anything to your opponents.

    See youre the exact kind of player I steal blinds from. Sometimes you have to loosen up and risk some coinflips. It will make you a better player. Remember you want to be the raiser, not the caller. Stealin blinds will help your table image, cause it will show that you have loosened up to the naked eye when in reality you havent..............
