fact of the matter is: they only need to fold a small % of the time for you to immediately show profit (i wish i was better at the math, but i think its around 1/3 of the time.) AND, when they call, you have position the rest of the way. you can call their donk cbet and take a turn. you can bet into them when they check and get like 6:1 on your money. you can really get in their heads, and the good players can really get in yours. its a great zig and zag match when you find a player that is willing.
but, again, the fact is most players would rather fold their blind...thinking "its not that much." when, i reality, its half a bb. when you only win 3 bb/100, thats a big chunk of your winrate right there in blind steals.....especially if the player doesnt think his blind is important. however, if most players 3bet you from a blind, it means business...since they usually just fold. therefore, they become easier to read and you can then play many, many more marginal hands against them profitably.
not to mention the things it does to them when you raise your 57s and actually hit a hand! they tend to start "playing back at you" when you hold AA in the future.....getting those paid off more, too.
