Stealing the Blinds in Short Table Poker

No, this is not an example of short table poker.
Stealing the blinds at a short table is something you’ll need to do if you hope to make any money. Short table settings are usually dominated by the most aggressive player, and blind stealing is the first aggressive move you can make in a hand. The shorter the table, the lower the chances of your opponents having a premium hand. Raising when you have position will often lead to the blind positions folding and giving them to you.
Some players will defend their blinds with inferior cards and others won’t. Figure out who’s who and try and take advantage every time an opportunity presents itself. Blind stealing works best from the late positions, but if the table is tight and you’ve established a good table presence it can be done successfully from any position. And the bigger the blinds, the more important it is to try and steal them.
