Re: (stud8) what hands do you defend against steals with?
I'm thinking first to act with 0-2 people between them and the BI. For more timid players, 0-1 between them and the BI.
On the other side of the coin, how often do people steal, and with what kinds of hands? I'm sticking mostly with high hands here, since as Ray Zee notes, short handed or late position with no callers, stud/8 plays find with the best high hand.
As the last person to act I often don't even want to get involved with razz hands that are worse than 1-gap straights although I make exceptions for 3 flush hands and 3 card 7s with an A, preferably in the door. It just seems like a high variance low expectation play.
