hey people, just wanted some help on what to do when your faced with several players trying to still the blinds in DoN games, you normaly see blind stealing at all levels and when the blinds go around 100/200 wining the blinds can be the difference from making the money or not so whats the best way to fight back, ive read a few guides that state if you got an idea on who is blind stealing its best just to go all in if you know hes likely to fold to a raise but is the all in to risky ?, thanks for any replies.



p.s this is more of a 2nd question but just thought while im here, im starting out on DoN games but playing at such a low level normally around 1 dollar profit is just simply so small, do i just need to stick it out untill i can move on to 2 dollar and beyound.

I wouldn't go all in, as he will usually assosiate this play this you, and then when he gets a premium hand will make a bet that looks like he's trying to steal with the intention of you going all in. Then when you do he'll call it with a decent hand.

Instead try 3 betting with hands that at first aren't premium (eg rag aces) and then tighten up your range as he becomes wise to your 3 betting.

The math really doesn't support restealing unless you have A LOT of fold equity or a premium hand.

Often you're better off letting them have the blinds and looking for your own spots to steal.

That being said, if the table isn't letting you steal then getting it in against a weak range (if you don't have much FE) is often your best -EV play and should be taken.

You do not have to fight back if you do not have cards.
Collin Moshman says that is better to be the agressor than the agressed.
You do not have cards , you fold. When it is your turn, you steal with any 2 decent cards. If someone is too agressive and you do not have cards leave the fight for the ones that have good cards. They will take him out.

If you are in danger to be outblinded(less than 3 BB) search for the immediate spot to go all in. 2 cards of the same collor, connectors, ... anything that looks preety , and a BB that is tight if possible.

There is no point in throwing good money in after bad. Fold the raggedy hands. If he steals your blinds 5 times, you'll get it back with interest when you do hit. He'll have the confidence to raise you constantly, then you hit him hard when you end up with a monster.
