Good thing he didn't have 82o or 32, or this would go in the "bad beat" forum. ... Oh, wait a minute...

Re: How not to defend your blind

But they were soooted!

All in with a 73!?! I could understand it if he was playing the hammer but not a garbage hand like a 73.

Re: How not to defend your blind

As I read somewhere, most players are lifetime losers from the blinds.

Re: How not to defend your blind

Why do some people get so into blind defending? Crap is crap no matter what the other person is playing.

I go both ways. PokerTracker shows I have the second most winnings (out of all the postions) from the BB but I have lost the most from the SB position.
Shows that I am calling w/ the SB too much but playing well after the flop from the BB. Man I love PT.
