Stealing Blinds From LAG Players

#1 11th January 2012, 2:27 AM

What's the best strategy for stealing blinds from players who are inclined to call more often or play back at you more often than the average player/a tight player?

Should you maintain a tight image and make few but timely blind steals?

Should you wait for a real hand and punish them for not believing you?

I feel like these days it is harder to steal blinds later in tournaments than its ever been.

They're calling ranges are usually still a little wide.

Shove with ATC?

I'd go B if you're pretty sure he'll call anyway. That way the other players will see you as tight as not call your bluff later and you don't accidently double LAG up. To me, LAG's with chips are the hardest people to play.

I usually wait for A9, 88 or better when trying to steal a LAG players blinds.
