Default Do you defend your blinds?

The question below refers to a no limit cash game in which you are deep stacked (at least 100 big blinds).

Wow, that is entirely dependent on the stats and tendencies of who's doing it. And that figures on whether you call or reraise. There is no yes or no in all circumstances, or even near that.

Perhaps, but it is a good discussion topic.

Yes, I defend my blinds against people in the CO/BT that are known to raise with a very wide range of hands. Depending on my holding, I'll take a flop or 3-bet.

Play it from there.

My basic philosophy is that defending miniscule blinds with resteal or call/donk moves either wins tiny pots or loses big ones.

Except in those cases where you're doing it as a setup to stack overly aggressive players, I don't see the point. Obviously, tournaments are much different.

I'd love to hear what everyone thinks.

Lets not circumvent the profanity filter.
