Default Re: Leak Check: Defending Blinds

If I'm not stealing I play extremely tight in the blinds, but when it comes to position abusers I open up. I'd say my 3betting range for someone I know is a blind thief is SCs about 76s+, ATo+, PP 77+, though sometimes even if I have a hand theoretically good enough to 3bet, I won't if I have been 3betting them a lot recently.

The real problem comes postflop once they call the cbet; TAGs/LAGs love to float and I often think they are, so as a result it feels a bit weak tight just to cbet and C/F. But there's also the double-edge razor that some players will go insane with their blind stealing and will stack off really light in this situation when they suspect you're playing back at them.

EDIT: So I'm thinking tighten my range a bit, only 3bet every now and then just to keep them honest until they start doing it again, and then repeat to minimalize variance.
