In tournament play, stealing blinds is the key to winning. So, everyone knows to steal the blinds, but the trickier part is defending them. This series discusses how to deter the thieves and counter-attack against aggressive players. Defending the blinds should be approached differently in each stage of the tournament. The final part of this series will discuss approaches to blind defense at the final two tables. Some methods discussed include re-popping aggressive players early, opening your range accordingly to short handed play, stop-and-go's, leading flops oop, and taking the scared money, while not being scared ourselves.
