Re: J9o in APPT Steps step 3
I think the blind steal / raise is perfectly fine here. The only problem is usually in a higher end steps like this, usually when the BB or SB play back at you they either have something or are hard core bluffing. Once you open and get minraised, I don't think you can get away from it. Even if he turns over AK or KK/AA, you've got straight possibilities, two pair, sets, list goes on and on to crack. I think it's a fine play. As mentioned above, J9 isn't always the BEST hand to steal the blinds with, but it is certainly not the worst I've seen to try to do so.
