15/30 BB minimum hands?
Got this player who likes to raise and steal blinds, I folded away 45o, 73s, T3s, 68o on the BB, what kind of hand do u guys call on the BB against a blind stealer?

Re: 15/30 BB minimum hands?
If I want to stop a regular from constantly stealing my blinds I don't call with anything. I 3-bet with anything and usually bet, 3-bet any flop. I may win or I may lose but it'll stop him in short order. If it's a stranger that I don't have to put up with for the long term I just play it straight and toss all those hands you've mentioned also.

But I'll say this: I NEVER win in these spots w/ the small suited connectors. I mean they should win once in a while shouldn't they? Not for me they don't. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Re: 15/30 BB minimum hands?
I like to flop a pair... then let him bluff bet the whole way... turn over bottom pair, don't even wait for his hand to be called out, and yell SHIP IT

[/ QUOTE ] I dont play live but in online midstakes I will be calling all of those hands against most CO and button raises. I will be calling or 3-betting 70-75% of my hands. Against a SB open raise I call or 3-bet 100%. I also strongly disagree that 3-betting everything you want to play preflop is the optimal play. Pick up Stox book if you want good advice on which hands to play in blind steal situations. Another option is to check out some coaching vids by DeathDonkey in the DC forum. He is pretty expert.
