Defending Your Blind from a Thief
Nobody has a good hand all the time. Anybody who does is probably getting the cards from up their sleeve. So when the player to your right seems to always be stealing the pot when you’re in the big blind, you can either assume he gets the best hand in the world whenever he is in that particular position or he is bluffing most of the time.
If the aforementioned player continues to try to steal the blinds when you’re sitting in the big blind position, this means that they have picked up on something about you that indicates to them that you’re likely to give in when they get aggressive. Continuing to fold until really good hole cards just happen to show up when you’re sitting in the big blind position will do nothing to discourage this behavior. It will just validate that they can push you around with their bets. To stop this behavior, you need to stand up to this player.
We have all been told that to beat a bully you must stand up to them. In the real world this is a good way to get a free ride to the hospital: bullies are usually bullies because they are bigger and stronger than most people in their peer group. At the table a bully is only fueled by your weakness. Because they can’t have the nuts every time you are in the big blind, you can logically conclude they are mostly bluffing. In this case you can feel good about playing with a lower quality hand, because you can bet that the chances are pretty good that they are lying about the strength of their hand. So when they try to steal the pot, match their aggression - bet and raise with impunity. This is the best defense to this situation.
Personal expirience (bad beat) - fu**ng river
I played $2-4 no-limit holdem yesterday. And from $300 i make $1700 and loose all at once.
My hand: 88
I give preflop raise $20
and one man call
Flop: 2d 5c 8h
so i have three of kind 8
i make check, and he make raise $40
I just call
next card that came 6
I again check
and he make raise $60
I make reraise $120
He reraise me - all in
I thought that my hand is best. Cause streight is unbelivable
what i put in his hand? Elder three of kind, or top pair
So, i call all in
Probably i gues, he had three of kind 5
But on the rivercame on more 5, and he had 4 of kind, so i loose

Personal experience
When you play at tournament, and the blinds are high. For example you are sitting before button, or on button (small blind, big blind) and you habe hand like 9T or Q7 suited, and some players before you just call big blind. You may robe the pot, with good raise. As rool when blinds are high, and player just call, its like he say - Give a raise and i fold. I have check it a lot of times, and it is work. Just remamber one rule, if you have really bad hand, batter fold. Cause rarely, but you could receive a reraise, so you should be ready fold or call.
Sometimes it is good show that you are bluffing, cause next time players will not belive in your hand, and will check you (and when they will check you should have a monstra for sure
) If you have monstra and few persons all time call your raise, on the river give not too big, but not too small raise. You should show with your raise that you wanna robe pot, and make player with bad hand ( middle pair or etc.) call your raise or even re-raise you. If you will give small raise - mostly you show that you have a hand, and you want receive a call. Too big raise - maybe everyone will think that you are bluffing, but players with middle hand will affraid to loose to many chips, in case when u have hand.
P.S sorry for not good english
The differences between online and live poker.
Online and live poker are obviously two different variants of the same game. Despite the fact that the game itself is exactly the same, the different environments it’s played in, give birth to particularities that clearly set the two variants apart.
While this difference is not all that accentuated in Limit Texas Holdem, it becomes obvious in No Limit. Those players who have only played online poker (the vast majority of those playing online, fall into this category) also easily recognize the difference in approach, Limit Holdem and No limit Holdem require.
Contrary to common belief, the average skill level of online poker players exceeds that of real live poker players. Commonly, it is thought that players who go to real card-rooms are all world-class, like players you see on TV in the WPT or WSOP. The fact, though, that they play in real brick-and-mortar establishments, doesn’t guarantee that they’re outstanding or any better than their online counterparts. The average online poker player spends a lot more time playing poker, because of the widespread nature and fuss-free accessibility of the game, ( plus he plays more hands/ hour than any live poker player) whilst many real poker players only play the game for fun.
