Everyone folds to the button. You are in the big blind and the button raises and you think it's a steal attempt, small blind folds, instead of a resteal bluff, just call and then bet on the flop no matter what cards. Is this a working strategy longterm? I realize it could be risky but it's not as obvious as reraising preflop.
How do you know the person is stealing?
