“Blind Stealing” Or Blind Stealing Is When A Player In Late Position Raises In The Pre-Flop In Order To Steal Blinds (In Case The Blinds Don’t React).
This Often Works. Since Players In The Blinds Are Dealt 2 Random Cards. There’s A Very Small Chance They’ll Get A Hand Strong Enough To Call The Raiser. So This Is Another Chance For Late Position To Steal Blinds. Both Blinds Players Must Be The First To Play. Thus Making Him Already At A Disadvantage
STRATEGIES FOR STEALING BLINDS
Tournaments
In Tournament Games, Stealing Blinds Works Best. For Example, If You’re In Need Of Chips And Can’t Wait Until You Get A Premium Hand. What’s The Fastest Way To Get Chips Faster Than Stealing Blinds From Another Player? You Will Have More Chips To Play With.
However, At The Start Of The UFABET Game, With Very Few Blinds Compared To Your Stack, Stealing Your Blinds Isn’t Very Useful And Isn’t Valuable To You. Plus, Opponents Tend To Call Because Blinds Are Very Low Compared To His Stack.
Cash Games
In Cash Games, Blinds Are Usually Very Small Compared To Your Stack, Meaning From A Payoff Point Of View Stealing Blinds Isn’t Worth It And Isn’t Very Profitable. With Good Hands And It Is Better To Avoid Risking Money Playing With Weak Hands.
However, Stealing Blinds In Cash Games Should Depend On Whether You Think You’ll Be Able To Outperform Your Opponent In Later Rounds, Such As When They Call. You Have More Chances To Win. But Be Careful Not To Use This Method Every Time You Play Or Your Opponent Will Begin To Read Your Game. And I Don’t Recommend Stealing Blinds Too Often In Cash Games Either.
Protecting Blinds From Stealing
As A General Rule You Shouldn’t Try To Protect Your Blinds Every Now And Then. Remember That You Must Be The First To Act Against Anyone Trying To Steal Blinds Because Of Your Position. So If You Keep Calling And Don’t Hit Anything On The Flop, Where Do You Play Next? And If You Check And Hit A C-Bet, Do You Still Re-Raise And Can You Bluff If You Go First?
In The Aforementioned Situation You Don’t Know What Cards Your Opponent Has. And You’re Taking Too Much Risk. You Have No Information About Your Competitors. I Think Trying To Protect Blinds Is Not Worth It In The Long Run.
You Must Remember That Once You’ve Blinds, It’s Not Your Money Anymore. By Then Money Had Become Part Of The Pot, Which Is Why So Many Players Lose Money Raising Blinds Because They Believe The Blinds Are Still Their Money And They Have To Protect It. Which Is Not At All
However, In Some Situations You Can Prevent Stealing Blinds From Future Competitors. If You Think What He’s Doing Is Trying To Steal Your Blinds Using An Advantageous Position, You May Try To Re-Raise It So He Has To Think Twice Before Stealing Your Blinds Again On The Next Round. And If Your Opponent Still Dares To Call You Again, That’s Okay, You’ve Already Shown That You’re Ready To Protect Your Blinds Against Anyone Who Tries To Take Them.
This Method Is Most Effective When The Blinds Are Small Relative To Your Stack, Because You Don’t Have To Risk Much. And Not Going Into The Pot Too Much Unnecessarily.
