Why am I posting these hands? It just seems sooo +EV to steal blinds often. With every hand. Even if you don't hit - contibet also looks +EV.
Is that so, or am I mistaken?

IMO You win very little in comparison to what you earn. Especially hands like T 2 will not give you +ev. Good drawing hands however like suited connectors are worth a shot and if you get called you have a nice drawing hand in position.

+ remember not to steal or C-bet erverytime. Makes you easy to trap.

Right, right - but when you're playing on such limits, you just have.. 90% or something fold equity (people fold nearly always...) on such play. That's the reason it seems so +EV to me.
And stealing/contibeting every time i have an oportunity to is out of question, i agree. But once per 10-20 hands is just fine to make few (!) BB / 100 in a long run... That's what i observe. Maybe I'm just lucky?

I do play those blinds. If it works for you, it works for you.. But id fold T 2 and raise only hands that at least have SOME potential if called. (like the K J and A 9 :club:)

Without stats and reads on your opponent, you shouldn´t steal with any two. When you have thousands of hands of your opponent, who is sitting in the BB and you use PA, which is showing you that he is folding his BB in over 90% of the time, then you can do that.
