I think your stealing plan (Ax or other) is to cbet air a lot, cbet any piece of the flop, and fold to any pressure. Reads help. It's high variance, and you get caught showing down totally dominated crap in a 30 bb pot sometimes. But if you're not prepared to 2 barrel some of your steals, you have to steal less and with better values. Some notes on how regs behave in the blind battles is righteous.

I think blinds vs. blinds and BTN vs. blinds is one area where micro players really suck. A good aggressive mix of resteals (3bets), 2 barreling and steal/folding can be ++EV. HOWEVER, you're playing the player much more so than your cards imo. So reads and board texture might be important. If you're not good at this, the best way to learn is to really tighten up the stealing range and get aggressive, learn what will typically take down a pot against certain types of players, when they're playing back with strength. Then slowly add in hands to your stealing ranges as you gain experience.
