i dont play limit but i cant imagine blind stealing being profitable, especially at .25/.50 where they will call with almost anything.
in nl ring games i hardly ever try to steal the blinds... only in tournaments when it the blinds get big enough

Ni Han.

It's profitable because they will play anything and misplay it horribly post-flop.

In ring games I LOVE playing my button and splashing around in small pots.

If they're defending with any 2, playing horribly post-flop and you're only raising the button 25% of the time, you're missing a lot of value.

In NLHE, there are spots where I'm limping or raising well over 50% of my hands on the button.
