blind steal/blind defense.

[slicer65]

THis is why I hate blind steals/defense.

How are you supposed to kow when you are ahead/behind? When you should fold? Seems like a huge risk of large swings for most likely a small pot. To be profitable you have to be right more than 50% of the time. Tell me what I am missing.
