don't worry about defending your blinds. imo it doesn't apply to cash games to any relevant extent. its best to play very tight from the blinds and avoid playing oop w/o solid hands.

people play poorly from the blinds, i find blind v blind battles to be one situation where people play like [censored]. Similar to reraised pots.

A multitabling tag who is raising your bb every orbit needs to be dealt with. Simply giving up your blinds isnt the answer, but being more careful with/how to go about defending them is important.

Listen to this advice. A concrete way of dealing with this is the following logic:

When an aggressive loose player raises you from the CO or Button, then you should not only rereaise with your strong hands but also OCCASIONALY with your small pairs and suited connectors.

I stole this logic from a much better smarter player. When you do decide to defend them.

The most common lines are for marginal hands are:
lead flop.
check-call flop. lead turn.

This is very transparent and I destroy the people who try to do this vs me.

Show us a hand you got to showdown where you "destroyed" some one.

OOP is tough, but not entirely easy for someone in position either, when the blind comes after you re-raising and betting.

What does getting to showdown have to do with anything? By destroy them I mean constantly raise their retarded weak leads and they fold very often. Eventually they taper down ro stop altogether. This has the added benefit of disguisng my big hands which I raise in a similar fashion and tilting them.

May be against weak players. It's as easy for them to stack you as it is for you once they get the initiative.

Ok, forget about show down. Show me a hand where it is very clear that you "destroyed" some one. I don't believe that it's that easy with out having a hand yourself.

Any one can play a good hand in position. You would love a BB re-raising your big hands, but it's tough to play when you have Q9s and board comes A9Kr after raise, re-raise. How will you make a move on such a board with air ?
