To Steal Blinds in Cash Games

Hello,

As of now, I’m planning to switch to casino games. By the way, I’ve been into NL Holdem home game tournaments for some time now.

Well, I’m wondering if how important it is to steal blinds in cash games, particularly when you’re in late position during an unopened or unraised pot. Any idea to share?

Thanks!

Danny

Danny,

Get the idea of stealing blinds in NL cash games out of your head. The blinds in most NL cash games are so insignificant in relation to your stack that it doesn’t matter. Also, blinds do not go up in cash games as opposed to tournaments. Blinds at a $1-$2 NL game will stay $1 – $2 forever. Leave the blind stealing to tournaments and high stakes Limit Holdem games.
