There is a lot of truth to that TJ. I do this against known blind stealers, against an unknown I let it go. What I do has more to do with metagame, I suppose. Sending the message to a guy that if he chooses to come after my blinds, he better be prepared to go to war. In effect, it's not just the one blind I am defending, it is X number of blinds while that guy sits next to me. It also can slow them down in hands that don't involve the blinds and button, taking some pots here or there when they appear weak or allowing a cheap draw they would have bet normally. I am also speaking of $100 NL games that are a little more aggressive. And FWIW, I tend to have a hand more often than not, and ALWAYS when I take the delayed line.

I wouldn't pull this at $25, that's for sure.
