I once closed my eyes and tried to catch an egg thrown by my brother from 20 feet away after reading about the exploits of blind super hero Dare Devil in some old marvel comics that my dad got while out tatting.
You ended up with Egg on your face ? Yes. When I closed my eyes, he sneaked up to within about 3 feet and smashed it on my forehead. |

bB3 i played a SNG half blind where i only looked at the cards 50% of time and then only post flop
i took out half the table eventually getting HU with ITB who pushed all in blind i decided to look at my 23o before calling and losing
playing blind helps you practise getting reads on players knowing when they will fold and when they wont

Hi Guys,
I want to pick your brains - I've just watched Annettes_15's blind play 180 SnG on poker X factor
Do you know of anyone who plays "blind" in tournaments be it on line or live - maybe for fun / skill / or in order to improve their game?
Could you name any pros who do this?
Is it a common technique?
Have you done it and is it helpful?
Fancied watching that....didn't fancy paying $150 though |

good job you looked, otherwise you might have risked calling with a bad hand! |

Whilst playing at Bolton last year , Burnley John was on my right. We had been having some heated banter and he declared that if the table folded round to our blinds he would move all in blind, declaring i wouldnt get to play another hand in the big blind all night.... Well the whole table heard this and the next time it came to our blinds they all folded round to John, and to his word he moved all in (we were both large stacks).. Well I looked at my first card and it was an Ace, didnt look at my second card and called. I had A3 he had 23o  Some players said i shouldnt have called but there was no way i was folding there. |
