A strategy that is executed when a player in the blinds believes that a pre-
flop raiser is attempting to
steal the blinds, i.e., to
bluff pre-
flop in the hope that all the other players
fold. The
blind defender will
call or re-
raise, and either hope to hit the
flop or force a
showdown with the suspected
blind stealer.
Blind defense is more common in
tight games where hands are often folding around to a pre-
flop raiser in late
position who may be attempting to
steal the blinds.
Example: "The last 4 times I was in the big blind, he raised from the cut-off and forced me out of the hand, so this time I was determined to defend my blind."
