We probably all know that if we are in the dealer's position and all the players have folded before us, we should call as often as possible in the hope of winning the blinds. When raising from this position, you only need to force two players to fold. Of course, the players in the blinds know that you will often try to steal their chips and may not trust you.
Around the middle part of the tournament, you should broaden your thinking and consider trying to steal not only from the dealer's position, but also from the cut-off, and even one position to the right (middle position). Again, your goal is to put enough pressure on all the remaining players on the left to get them to fold so that you win the blinds. In fact, raises from these positions will be even more respected than raises from dealer position.
If one of the players in the blind responds to your raise, you have a positional advantage over your opponent, which means that on all streets you will act second. Being in position is a huge advantage because you see your opponent's actions first and can decide how best to play. The later in the tournament, the more hesitant players are to get into hands without very strong hands, which makes stealing from position even more effective
Tip: What is a Table Image? Why is it so important?
The style of play that a player brings to the table is known as his table image. A player who has not dealt many hands in any pot will have the image of a closed player, while a player who opens many pots will have the image of an aggressive player.
It is very important to assess the image of your opponents, as your decisions must depend on it. For example, A-Q is much stronger against an aggressive player than against a closed player. The reason for this is simple, an aggressive player will open a lot of pots and usually will not have as strong a hand as you do, but a closed player will only fold a hand with a very strong starting hand. As a result, against an aggressive player, a beat is usually the best option, but against a closed player, the right play may be to just fold your hand.
It is very important to think about the image you create at the table. It is also necessary to understand that not all your opponents may think of you in the same way. As a result, your decisions against one opponent or another may be different.
As a rule, you should want to play the opposite of your image. If your opponent thinks you never bluff, it will be much easier for you to bluff him out of the pot. If your opponents see you as a maniac, you will be much more likely to have your raises answered or even broken.
