Re: Bay 101 6/12 Blind Stealing Question
You're looking at this exactly the right way. The rake/tip equation make blind stealing counterproductive at the lower limits. It is generally better to muck a large range of hands with which you'd normally open raise because the rake/tips eat into your odds so much.
You have to steal a lot less. You need a legitimate hand to come in late when you know that there may only be one or two others seeing the flop.
Many opponents never consider this, and they'll typically call with any two out of the BB before mucking to a bad flop. This costs you a ton.
Due to the effect of the rake/tips the 8/16 is generally a better choice than 6/12.
