Some make ridiculous raises at first and everyone just folds and they end up getting .75cents (what's the point?)
With great cards you will do Both things:
1) Blast away at the blinds trying to weed people out/ take the lead position
2) Slowplay, hoping to ambush people who are out there betting so-so hands.
Do both of them, switching randomly between strategies. It is the essence of poker. Try and base your switching on something concrete and unpredictable -- otherwise you don't realize it but you're switching out of frustration with the current strategy.
-switch when someone at the next table lights a cigarette
-switch when you get one of those spontaneous erections
-be creative
