Stealing Blinds - Min Requirements

[Blade]

I'm sure we all steal blinds at some point with, let's say, not the best cards this is without doubt. But what do you consider to at least a minimum hand with which to try it with in case someone actually calls you (or do you do it with anything)? Reason for my question is that I was watching (as I'm sure most of you all were too) the final table of the poker.co.uk challenge last night when Heniek made an all-in move against the blinds, only to be called by the small blind who was holding AKo. Heniek turned over 36s and I'm sure his heart must have been in his mouth at that point. Anyway, a 6 came on the flop, the AK didn't improve and Heniek doubled up and I believe that was a crucial point for the rest of the game for him. Now, I have fairly low limitations on what I'll try to blind steal with, but I doubt I'd ever do it with 36 suited or not? Should I be lowering my hand requirements or is this not the norm and Henieks just a nutter?? :unsure :tongue2 Thoughts?

Re: Stealing Blinds - Min Requirements Just my thoughts, Blades, but it's a positional thing...if you get called then it's upto the Poker Gods.
