Quite honestly I think blind stealing is overated for SnGs. Dont get me wrong, I do blind steal, but its either b/c: |

In $5 and $10 SnGs, i truly believe blind stealing is the key to winning consistently. Can't comment on the higher stake games, i ain't a regular at those. 3xBB is often too transparent even in low stakes SnGs. I think mixing 3, 4, and 5xBB is the most effective. | |

Personally, I've been finding even less than 3xBB to work just fine once the blinds are a significant size relative to stack sizes. 2.5-2.7xBB seems to work just fine. I'm playing on PokerSharks though where raises in general are more effective and players are more often weak/tight. I can't say that the 2.5xBB blind steal got all that much respect during the most recent FTR Showdown though. Of course, everybody there knows that everybody else is willing to attempt blind steals with crap and therefore are willing to defend their blinds more readily. | |

Well I gotta admit. I'm not one for blind stealing too much. It seems whenever I decide to try it. One of the blinds has a very good starting hand. Maybe just bad luck on my part. | |

I don't get how raising 3x BB is transparent. If you raise 3x BB every time you raise preflop when its folded to you, how is anyone going to know if you're stealing or not? | |

Do most people steal blinds from the button when there is no raise ahead or does it just have to be in late position???? |
