One other thing I do often comes up when a player is constantly trying to either re-raise me or steal my blinds. If someone raises my blind two or three times in a row, I will usually say something like, “You are going to steal my blinds every time, huh?” This is usually enough to let them know I am going to start playing back at them, whether it is true or not.
