| Stealing the blinds from the Cut-off seat Wazzup Guyz! Just want to ask, if any of you tries to steal the blinds if you are from the cut-off seat (pre-flop) and you don't have any strong hole cards whether if the players from the blinds protects their blinds strongly or not? |

| "Cutoff" - This is the player to the right of the button. It's called the cutoff because that position often "cuts off" the dealer's ability to steal blinds by betting. I personally rarely try to steal blinds just because it is riskier than necessary action in most cases. As far as the blinds go, they only protected in those cases when they ended up having respectably good hole cards. |

| I personally don't think that stealing the blinds with ANY 2 CARDS is a clever thing, unless the players in the blinds are very tight..because then i know....if they call me or raise me they have a good hand.Anyway I often steal the blinds with hands i consider "decent", like Ax suited or x>9 if offsuite , or suited connectors..and with almost any pair |

You don't have to steal every orbit from the same position to make it worthwhile. Just as long as it works out enough in the long run. Plus it'll help your image a bit, as you won't be defined as a complete rock. |

But one thing that I really noticed lately is that other players now are stealing the blinds from the Cut-off seat even if they don't have good hands...it does pays off about 65% of the time based on my observation. |

| I only personally do this from the button, and only on occasions, not to be obvious. BUT, I think you have quite a good point, it could work well to your advantage. Even if they call, your hand becomes quite well disguised. You also this way automatically get dealer position (if dealer does not call), and are last to act, and can usually get the better part of a flop if they don't hit. |

| re: Stealing the blinds from the Cut-off seat poker I don't care what I have. If everyone folds to me and I have position. I am going to raise to try to steal those blinds. Especially late in a tournament when the blinds are huge. I think that is a great strategy |
