Re: (stud8) what hands do you defend against steals with?
In a late-night conversation in the Plaza coffee shop during the WSOP a few years back (while it was still at Binion's), Andrew Prock tried to convince me that if someone showing a low card in the door in steal position raised my bring-in, I should raise back at him, simply because of the likelihood of picking up the pot on fourth street on those occasions where the attacker bricks and I catch good. Andrew's claim is that this is a profitable play.
I am generous in giving up my bring-in when I don't have cards; when I do have cards I try to hit back hard. I don't like pure razz hands like 852, but any better low starter is worth fighting back with.
