Blind stealing is part of the game....when you get a decent hand you could overbet/raise the blind stealer and hope this isn't the time he has a good hand...OR.....with no cards at all just raise the blind stealer....resteal/bluff.
Your try to play back at the blind stealer so he "bully's/steals" someone else.

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"]This post just about says it all. But you will occasionally run into a stealer w/ a real hand. All you can do is hope you can manage to come out ahead when the river has been played. . .[/FONT]

Blind stealers will fire with just about any two cards so they become tougher to deal with once you've missed the flop. In general I'd say it's better to initiate stealing from someone else than confront your nemesis with marginal odds - especially if you are a tight player, which you must be if you are asking this question. A laggy player will just reraise or go all in to mess with a pesky thief.

Nothing makes me madder then when thay raise preflop with nothing and you have a good starter hand so you call the theif and he hits

The big stack will bully the blinds when they get high you just have to wait for a decent hand and go over the top if you can

You can push back if you want to try to stop em. You can also w8 for a monster and trap them.... that will make them think twice about stealing from you again:dance::dance::dance:

If the blind stealer is "constantly" bullying your blinds, play "your hand" and ignore/don't respect his bets. The pots will be bigger than usual but so are the winnings. Try not to think about "if" he has a hand just play yours.....it's hard to do.

If you learn more about position, pot odds and blind size/bet size vs pot size, you can be successful at stealing the blinds. I had a hard time understanding this method of play, but after reading a few books, I see it is part of being successful at winning tournaments and taking down pots on the ring table. X

Definitely bad to just call with a good hand in the blinds. If your hand is good, then reraise! You want to end the hand early whenever you are out of position post flop. Teach them you are hard to steal from and they will move on to the next target. Thieves like easy prey, not hard... Good luck out there.
