Tournament Strategies: When Stealing the Blinds Doesn’t Work
Remember, a successul re-raise steal, assuming the initial raiser brings it in for three times the big blind, will net four-and-a-half big blinds plus the antes (usually equivalent to one big blind), or five-and-a-half big blinds.
After three orbits I will have paid seven-and-a-half big blinds in blinds and antes, but from two successful re-raise thefts I will have won eleven big blinds. That’s a new profit of three-and-a-half big blinds.
And just like stealing blinds, if I pick my spots carefully, there is no chance of suffering a bad beat – I can win all my pots before I have to see the flop.
