Steal in LP - strategy for blinds/LP

Dear NL-afficionados,

I’m eager to learn how you guyz handle steal attempts from LP, when you sit in the blinds?
Also, how often do you guyz attempt to buy the pot from LP when limped/folded to?

/*Note - I'm talking a RING game here, not a tourny*/

I’d say many players will try to buy the blinds (and one or to limps) with a bet in LP, about half the time it’s folded/limped down to them.

Is that a correct observation? If so, one could roughly expect that they’d bet their top 50% hands.

If that holds, what is a good strategy from the SB/BB? To automatically reraise with ca top 20-25% hands perhaps? If there are limpers, surely a reraise puts strong pressure on said limpers given that they are facing the original raiser in LP.

On a never-ending learning curve,

Don't forget in the blinds you're then in early position for the next three betting rounds, and unless you get a great flop, or have balls the size of Brussels, a good aggressive LP player will probably have you for breakfast.

Just wait for a hand.

Limpers aren't always as weak as you think they are. A good player with position will call you holding a wide variety of hands to outplay you postflop. Stealing multiple limps from the blinds is a bad move IMHO. The pots you win are small. The pots you lose are big because you're forced to represent.

Basically you don't do something for the sake of doing it. It's not profitable in cash game, so just squash it. What do you expect to be rewarded with, 5xBB? That's not why you're at the table. You want 20xBB or more when you win a hand.

If you're not in a tourney it's stupid to steal blinds. Let this guy have them. The times it goes wrong vs the times it goes right is totally not worth it. In ring games, guys generally aren't betting with absolutely nothing just for your 50 cent blind or whatever limit you're playing.
