Another place to get aggressive in the late going of a free online
poker tournament is blind defense. You're seeing it suggested here that
you steal with a lot of nothing. Well, others are doing it to you when
you're in the blinds, so you have to make them back off. If you're just
passively giving up your blinds, or calling and folding on the flop
often, then you're just asking for misery. Sometimes you have to play
back at the stealer by moving in on them. Sometimes you should do it
with some marginal hands, too. Going all-in with 76s is not something
you want to do very often in a free online poker game, but you have to
send a message that you're not to be screwed with. If you do make a
"back off" stand with a moderate hand like this, try to do it with a
hand where if you're called, at least your hand is live. So I'd probably
rather have 76s than K7o.
