I did have a crazy superstition that I would never play the first hand, because I did not want to be first out, but that disappeared a long time ago. Some time's I will not look at my hand if I am on the BB and I prefer to check blind so that when the flop comes I am not looking to make a hand, and I can watch the reaction of the other players when it hits the table.
This gives me more information and I can check blind waiting for someone to make a bet before I am forced to look, this gives me more options, in the fact that if I hit big I am letting them make a noose for themselves, and if I miss completely I can try and float the hand and try a bluff on the river.
I will only try this against one opponent, because if you are doing this with more than one opponent the odds of making the bluff work is reduced. My philosophy is "If I have missed the flop, maybe they have as well" and most of the time I am right.
This of course is only in live games, on-line it is totally impossible to do, as the cards are always face up. But it is fun to do in a live situation, especially with the first hand.

When the fun, Stops, STOP!
