Waiting for the "not folding A6s pre in BB vs. BTN-raise team" WRs after applying the following filters : "Hole Card = A6s" / "Position = SB + BB" / "Did Cold Call = True"

Just saying, they don't need to show a profit here, they only need to show that they're greater than -100bb/100 with this hand (-100bb/100 is the EV of folding).
And if you can't do better than -100bb/100 with A6s vs a typical button raising range when defending against a minraise, you have serious leaks in your game.
I think its fair to say that a lot of us beginners don't realise how much we can (and should) defend versus min opens BB v BTN. Of course this kind of is why I posted that hand, to see what postflop options are open to make me a crusher like Big Mick myself!!!
It is easy to say you have to defend your blinds more but tbf Big_Mick has some serious post flop game to back up the loose flats. I'm just curious...until the post flop game is shored up is it better to keep that range tightened up a bit?

Ty Captain Obvious to remind us that the Ev of folding BB is -100bb/100
That said I did not expect seeing positive WR here... Was just curious how did "The defenders" perform into that spot.

It is very touching that you care sooooo much about my leaks
1030 - 1040 = Import hands and mark hands for review in PT4.
1040 - 1050 = Set schedule and update weekly goals.
1050 - 1120 = Catch up in Skype groups (they getting active!!)
1120 - 1600 = Follow routine for poker habits.
No play tonight working on houses - ONE MORE WEEK!!
0515 - 0640 = Poker video then at the tables.
Short Term Goals Week Commencing 4th August 2014
1. At the start of every session make a post-it note of two things to focus on each session. One to be strategy (such as 3betting/cbetting etc) and one to be work related (such as mark hands/make notes etc). Aim for 100% of making the post-it! - "Cbet that mother!" and "Mark cbet hands". (Week 5/5)
2. Post every single marked hand for the week somewhere and prove to yourself you did it! - Done 11. (Week = 27/27)
3. Check a preflop range versus another player every time your trigger cue happens. Measure YES or NO and keep running total. Aim for 100% completion. - No!! I do this an hour before I leave work and something very important came up so decided to prioritise! (Week = 3/4)
4. Post a "hand of the day" into blog. - Ahhhh! Can't believe I did not do this! I posted 11 hands and forgot to put one in here, what a donk! (Week = 2/2)
5. Play 8 hours. - Played 6 hours 8 mins. 1 hour 34 mins ahead! Could get close, depends how last house goes...

Had decent poker day yesterday, lots of good HH posting. Got some unexpected time with kids too.
Just to touch on this subject again, why is it that you defend Q5o but fold T8o and offsuit connectors? Instinctively I'd be more inclined to call with the offsuit connector hands though that's probably wtong, would just like to hear why.
Thanks mick for taking the time to prove me wrong by searching your database. As pointed out by someone else your results are probly the fruit of your postflop edges. Would you like to share with us a general strategy for blind defense ?
