Message: [QUOTE="UkoChebuko, post: 5750820, member: 353461"] "Blind" means "very poor playability". And this playability matters even with SPR = ~1. I was accused of misinformation, spam. I will try to explain better. This situations are very common in the tournaments. But the cash game players don't have a good experience with this SPR. That's why some regs exploit that (short stack strategy for the cash games). For easy understanding you can compare 88 and KQs. 88 have very high equity vs random hand, acceptable equity in All in situations, very poor playability. KQs don't have good equity in All in situations preflop, this ranges are Ax heavy and pocket pairs heavy. But KQs have very good playability. We can call that "flopability". Mainly used from PLO players. You often will have "something" OTF. Can be pair, can be FD, can be BD FD + gutshot +overcards, can be OESD. With 88 we hope for set, but this will be very rare. Sometime we will have something else. Like in this hand, gutshot + 2 outs. But again, very rare. Your overpair means nothing vs NAI 3bet. Your equity with underpair will be very similar to your equity with overpair. Look at this ranges. Only for example. AI 3bet [IMG]http://store.picbg.net/pubpic/AE/2F/1f4070dcd007ae2f.jpg[/IMG] As you can see, there are a different combos for each hand. Because you will see some hands more often ( AI 3bet). 88 have a lot more equity than KQs. This is only an example. To show you the difference. NAI 3bet [IMG]http://store.picbg.net/pubpic/80/09/8d1f83195d918009.jpg[/IMG] Now the both hands have the same equity (less than 1% difference). But still KQs have very good playability. Why this matters? Look at this boards. Let's say the hands are :8d4: :8h4: and :ks4: :qs4:. :7s4: :10s4: :2h4: :jd4: :10h4: :6c4: :jd4: :9h4: :5s4: :qh4: :ac4: :3s4: :kh4: :2c4: :3h4: :10h4: :9c4: :2s4: :5h4: :6d4: :3c4: :8c4: :6h4: :2s4: You are facing four different scenarios for each board. Small bet (20% bet), 50% bet, shove and check. You know only the possible range preflop. For NAI 3bet (up there). You know nothing about his range postflop. You can use three scenarios for the flop. Bluff, value, entire range. And you can see your equity. And the possible FE. Vs your possible raise. Or if he checks, again , possible call, fold or raise vs your bet (if you bet). With bluff heavy range, with value range, with the entire range. Maybe you decide to shove, if he checks. Again, No Fe with the entire range. Or FE from the weak range. If the flop is check-check, then you repeat with different cards OTT. If you do this "exercise", you will understand why hand, like KQ is better, even if the equity of 88 and KQs is just the same vs NAI 3bet. Do some work, if you want some knowledge. You will see why fold or call with 88 very often will be mistake. And why he have an advantage. He have FE with his bluffs (or no FE with his value hands). [/QUOTE]
