There seems to be a whole lot of trying to steal my BB recently by the small blind and as I have stated before that shit just ain't going to happen as I will call with 2 blanks getting 3 to1 on my money with position. My point to everyone is that if the Big Blind is a staunch defender like I am and plays even remotely well then you should toss the vast majority of your hands in the muck from the small blind as it is just too difficult to outplay a good player without position. As you can see from some of the following hands these guys were trying to rape me with some pretty mediocre hands or just donating trying to hit something in the end and had to muck without showing. A VERY important part of being a winning player at limit holdem is playing well from the blinds particularly when heads up. DO NOT let people just run over you. Perhaps let them get away with it the first time but when that shit happens the next round draw a line in the sand as heads up you just don't need much if anything to fight back as long as you are not afraid to follow up on your preflop agression.

A very tricky hand here but goes to show you the power of 24o when played strong

Same guy from previous hand. If he had anything at all he would have called here so he was just betting on a prayer.
