I'm only 2500 hands into my 6max career but I notice already that alot of my marginal situations are from the blinds (i.e. stealing and getting called/defending against super aggros etc)

Any good advice when you have someone constantly trying to pick off your blinds? (other than changing tables)

Should I be making a stand? So far I've found if I am somewhat passive (against the steals, not in general) and let my blinds go relatively easy I can use that image to get them back and then some by picking off the c-bet:

Seat 3: Blind Stealer ($49.25 in chips)
Seat 4: Hero ($54 in chips)
Hero: posts small blind $0.10
BB: posts big blind $0.25

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Hero [9d Kd]
Blind Stealer: raises $0.75 to $1
Hero: calls $0.90
BB: folds
*** FLOP *** [4c 7h Jh]
Hero: checks
Blind Stealer: bets $1.25
Hero: raises $2.75 to $4
Blind Stealer: folds
Hero: doesn't show hand
Blind Stealer said, "I had JT "

Thoughts?

Start reraising them light. It usually calms them down a bit.

Re-raise, float, etc. Show a little spine, but just don't get too crazy.

A lot of people who know me get a little intimidated because they know I'm capable of playing light.
