blind stealing definitely skews preflop raising strategy a bit. is that what you're getting at? and yeah you will have to get all in for 100bb some times if your opponents are any good. no free lunch anymore.

here's a thought for you: it's been argued that in early position you should raise less to allow opponents to call with a wider range of hands (since you are raising with a small range of mostly premium hands). however, that needs to be balanced with SPR concerns, which the discussion i believe has ignored.

Good example and if this is covered in the book, then it looks more and more promising.

Tho the above line of thought is and always have been against my own practice, If my premiums are not getting action, I don't like to balance by charging less, but I prefer to balance by widening my range. (Thus respecting the SPR as you say, and actually if this tends to be ignored, I am surprised)
