If I believe I can do a blind-steal bluff first hand of a tourney I will attempt it. low risk to me, and the blind that i steal means that when I get a killer hand later on, I have more chips to bet with. That's my philosophy, anyway. People are either cautious or loose first hand of a MTT, I like to identify who Im playing against early on.c9h13no3 said:Raising 4xBB with 27os just because you can steal your opponents blind is a bluff. And if the blinds & antes are going to add a significant amount to your stack, then it does affect when you bluff. There's no point in blind stealing when there's no ante, and the blinds are 0.1% of your stack. But if by stealing the blinds of 1 limper and the SB & BB you take down 3500 chips into your 30,000 stack, that's an 11% boost.
In short, the size of the blinds in relation to your chipstack will certainly affect how much you bluff.
