Re: blind steal/blind defense.
There are two standard lines when defending your blinds;
1. Call pre-flop, c/r any flop (within reason, but you aren't looking for a reason not to c/r).
2. 3-bet pre-flop lead any flop (again, within reason). This should be the only way you defend from the SB because you don't want the BB to come along.
If either of these lines get to the turn you'll have to play a little poker. In this hand putting any money in the pot on the river with ace high isn't a very good idea. The only hands you are ahead of are Qx and you split or lose to Ax hands. The last thing you want to do is turn BD into a pissing contest where you mistake aggression for cards. Oh, and they aren't stealing as much as you think they are so don't think you have to defend every crap hand you have in the blinds.
