Stealing the Blinds?

[𝖊𝖓𝖉𝖈𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖉]

My last challenge is to steal the blinds. I used to be great at this, but now I forgot. Any help?

win without anyone raise or call. In other words, you have to all in right away and be sure that everyone folds right away (you have to be the first to start the round)

Make everyone fold after getting a new pair of cards.
EDIT: Ninja'd.

Go all in when you start the round?

Yeah, this literally never works for me. They ALWAYS call no matter what.

It's actually just taking the pot (getting other players to fold) before the "flop" is dealt, which means right after you get your two "hole" cards. It's a quick hand, but it's hard to get past some of the AI hubris, especially if they have good hole cards. (like any face cards, a pair or an Ace) Of course, since only your cards are visible, it's hard to tell when the other players have a good hand. Betting it all on a weak deal is a good way to lose.

Stealing the blinds does *not* mean you *must* be the player to start the betting. You can do this at any position in the deal, but the timing has to be right.

In fact, your best chance at stealing the blinds is when you have the Big Blind. (the higher of the two "ante" bets at the start of every hand) The last player to call the Blinds, ususally a "Check", can take the pot with even a small raise, at the right moment.

Being the last to bet, other players have already decided to fold or bluff a weak hand or (normally) under-play a stronger hand. This is the best time to spring a huge raise (I usually just double the pot) or use the (predictable) "all-in" strategy.

The players' "tells" are a good way to know when the right time is... like when you see Ash burying his face or Samson pound the table, these are signs of a bad deal for them.

Going "all-in" is never a guarantee, (unless you mean a guarantee to lose all your money) it's just a guaranteed way to get the attention of the whole table. Keep in mind that the AI is designed to recognize the "all-in" strategy, which is why it doesn't always—or in your case, never does—work. These players "learn" your tricks, so you need to have more than just a few tricks up your sleeve.

Poker isn't a science, it's a statistically measurable art. Playing poker with imaginary characters; doubly so.
