Stealing the blinds

Late tourney is the only time stealing the blinds is a big factor. But one must be careful here. Some things to take into consideration are: your position and the opponents stack sizes behind you. The cutoff is usually where I like to take advantage of this tactic. But be careful of deep stacks, they will call often and beware the short stack....He's got nothing to lose. The best ones to steal are the medium stacked players.

Tight players are also good to "steal" the blinds from. At what level of bb/stack level is it almost mandatory/necessary to go after the blinds?
If you wait to long your short stacked and it's allin or fold and too soon the blinds aren't worth the risk.

I always go after the low stacks especially once your already in the money they are just trying to get to the next level.
