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

Do you find LAGs stamping all over you though?

Move tables, get the LAG on your right, rocks on the left, and your all set.

For my blind? Sure. I just think there are better ways to play LAGs than play back with a random hand.

I don't think anyone advocates playing back/defending with any two cards. If so, I definately agree that you need to evaluate your play.

no ones saying its good with 52o, but with suited connectors, one gappers, two gappers, hell sometimes 3-gappers, if you play better than your opponent after the flop then it becomes a profitable move to use occasionally. there are more ways to take the pot than just donking the flop, you can 3-bet pre, c/r the flop, and sometimes you will actually hit a hand and get to showdown your hand which is good for your image. do you also think that the blinds are too small to be worth stealing from LP?

i completely agree. i obv open way lighter in LP than i call or 3-bet from the blinds, but they are worth defending sometimes

I defend my blinds like the U.S. defends the Mexican border.
