Topic: Getting caught by the blinds. Forum: Card Chat

There's no point stealing blinds if the pot ends up at 50 or 200 or so. You start stealing blinds when they are at about 1000/2000 so that the pot is worth stealing. I see people stealing small pot blinds instead of playing their hands - I don't think that's wise or ery profitable.

If you have 15X the big blind and the big blind is 2000 - then you've got 30,000 chips. It depends what others have. If they have much less, you won't be stealing the blinds to save yourself, but to put other out. I think the question was how to stay in a tournament when you are getting short stacked. If everyone has more chips than you at 30,0000, then you need to start stealing. But I'd say most people get panicky when they are at around 8000 chips and blinds are 2000.

If you need to start stealing blinds with a small chip stack - you need to go all-in because you'll never catch up raising, becaue the big stacks will easily call that raise ... you are nearing the end anyway.

Most large chip leaders steal blinds just to get short stacks out and if the short stacks don't respond with an all-in - then they will be blinded out and just slink away. I'm sure you've all seen it happen many times.

But I'm only a woman and it seems you guys are the only ones who know how to play poker.
