Steal the Blinds Horror Show

[RafaCastelo]

Have you PokerStars cash players noticed as up lately the cash tables have become some kind of war to steal blinds only? Aparently the most valuable players are those who steal more blinds. Its sad how new poker players know so little about what poker really is. Or maybe thats just how micro stakes have always worked?....

"All poker starts as a struggle for the ante. This struggle for the ante is what determines all future action. It is a struggle that increases and builds up, but it should never been forgotten that the initial struggle for the ante is what started the war."
David Sklansky "The Theory of Poker" 1987

Hello

IMPORTANT HUD NUMBERS, many player overfold vs steal use 90% steel, but is Blids to loose steel just top 30%.
And make bluff 4bet ranges

I heard many times from different players that they pay attention to statistics that people do not protect the blinds well enough, so many professionals use this

watch out for the steal fold if it is over 70%. you can go with all hands

Until they catch on to what you are doing and start 3betting. Noticed alot of BB 3betting recently v BU opens, as they should do - and I am tightening up my BU opens against these players
