Re: Blind stealer
Just call. Hit your Set and bust him.

Re: Blind stealer
Just call SB raise with 44 and take his money when you hit a set. I don`t really like taking a stance with small pocket pairs, I rather do it with 99+ or AT, KQs etc ..
The way played a fold is correct.

I probably would have just call his original raise. With OP's read, folding is too weak, especially to what is esentially a mini-raise. A fold here is very exploitable.

Re: Blind stealer
Calling 1.9$ to win 10$ is very -EV Imo, and that is considering you stack him every time you flop a set, wich you only do about once out of 8.5

Re: Blind stealer
yeah low pps you want to see a cheap flop really, prfereably not for 10% of your stack. I'd rather do this with 99+ AQ+ or hands like T3o (probably not at 10NL though!). The problem with over aggression at this level is that they won't fold often enough really, so you want to be pushing your pf value only with premium hands. Speculative hands you want to see the flop and out-play them from there. Not much room to do that when the pot is so big before the flop.

Re: Blind stealer
I see your point. However, you need to take a few other things into consideration:
1.) There will be times I'm taking this pot down without flopping a set. 2.) Given OP's reads, his range is WIDE OPEN. I don't want him to think he can come over the top of me with any 2 and I'm going to fold. Maybe I'm thinking too much here, I'd be interested in other thoughts on this...
