There is a common misconception about "blind stealing", and that is that when we raise a marginal hand on the button, our sole purpose is to take the blind money without a fight. T8s is a perfectly respectable hand, and plays quite well in position against poor opponents. So if your opponents fold a lot and you get a lot of free blind money, great. If your opponents "defend" their blinds too much, even better. Now you're playing a raised pot in position with the initiative. There is value in this.

You shouldn't think of open-raising on the button as stealing the blinds. You should think of it as attacking the blinds. Just because you "got caught" doesn't mean it didn't work.

In this particular instance, however, once you get three-bet, you should let it go. You attacked, he parried, move on.

To the OP: don't level yourself here. You said you have no read. With no read, this is a fold. Don't start thinking about what he thinks you're thinking. You have no history with villain, and you're quite likely to get off on the wrong floor.
