Default Re: Pooh-Bah Redux: Blind Stealing.

Does this all account adequately for the number of times a caller can't beat at least a pair of two's but has at least some sort of a draw?

I find at low levels that people love draws to death and will pay a high price to play them, even non-nut draws, even heads up, even without the pot odds. This does mean they pay you off when they don't hit, but they don't have to hit -- they can pair up along the way, once or twice, trip up, hit a flush while originally going for a straight, etc. And then when they do hit, you can be into them for quite a few bets.

Am I simply overstating the times opponents will fall in love with their draws and take them to the river? Because it seems like that's where a lot of my profit comes from, too. Can I have it both ways, thinking they'll fold enough to my blind steals and at the same time seeing them calling my nut-peddling arse all the way down on an AKJxx flop with a pair of 8's?
