Kill Poker Blind Doublers

I play a lot of poker, especially on Pokerstars. Typically I'll play on a micro Hold'em table that has a 2/4 cent blind. Often you'll find there is a player who will, as part of his tactic, double the blind before the flop.

Now this drives me NUTZ!!! Don't get me wrong, its not the money, I'm an all in sort of guy, but I've joined the table because I know what the blinds are. If I wanted 4/8 cent blinds I'd join a higher table. What I don't want is to wait to go round the table a second time to see who is going to match the blind. Most people don't like to bet blind on small tables anyway so all this tactic does is make them fold and keeps money off the table that may otherwise have reached it.

If you feel the same way, do what I do - move tables - there are plenty of them!
