Horner Not Really Stealing the Blinds All That Much

Brent Horner looks like he has a very large stack, but it is in fact around the 25,000 mark -- not small exactly (the average is currently around 15,000), but not nearly as big as it looks owing to all the small denomination chips he's accrued. "I like to give the impression that I'm stealing the blinds all the time," he said.

I strolled past his table just in time to see him bet out 1,600 on a {Q-Spades} {A-Clubs} {6-Clubs} flop and then insta-fold with a grin when his opponent announced all in.
