Stealing is a very fine art, and it’s important to understand your individual situation, and whether you need to steal. You have to consider your chip stack and the players at your table. Can you steal from them? Can you re-steal from them? Or should you just play tight and wait for good hands to come your way?

If you find a table at which you can steal, you need to choose your situation carefully. For example, it’s possible to steal holding 8-3os in the cut-off position by raising and hoping everyone folds.
