Any advice for playing out of blinds

[LuckHuck]

well you could defend your blinds like all the Russians used to do on FTP and re-raise all in every time .... OR really how you play your cards on the blinds all depends on how many BB's you have left. for ex: if your extremely short stacked and you on LB and everyone folds to you, if you have Q6 or better its an easy push.

If I am SB I try to get away with calling BB. However, if there is a raise, I fold if I do not have a good early position hand. When blinds and antes are huge, I fold. Trying to stay around for a better opportunity

the one nice thing about not defending your blinds early in a tourney is that later on in the tourney when the blinds are higher if you get a monster preflop hand people generally are more likely to try and steal your blinds setting you up possibly for more action for your hand

When playing a hand while in the blind your opponent's will think you don't have anything. Because 99% of the time player's don't have a hand worth calling in the SB/BB. When you get a hand like AK AA or KK you can win real big.

Just keep playing your right tight game at all positions if that is working for you.

Steveg, that is the kind of non-answer that doesn't have any substance to it.

Good answers overall.

I usually try to protect my blinds at all costs. It's like when I used to play Age of Empires as a rookie and reacted to the other players' actions. Later on I learned that leaving your base undefend (besides walls) and attacking somewhere---anywhere, is better than just reacting to whatever the player throws at you.

its like anything else with poker though because you do it to much someone can set you up expecting you to defend your blind when they have a monster
