However, the fact that he even considered calling here made me wonder if I am playing way too tight in the blinds. I would defend 97o here. Also, after watching again it appeared the CO numbers were 35/27 so maybe he is more lag/Tag.
This was a 10-20 online game. It was played several years ago. Maybe defense ranges have evolved since then.
2) I saw Donjuans defense range in the no content thread which is plus 90%. I could see 65-70%.
Basically, I'm hoping to hone in on a closer to correct defense range. I'd love to here your thoughts. I'm gonna post more defense hands.
Mods, apologies in advance if I quote posts from other threads is a violation on 2+2.
Maka2184 would fold 94o preflop. +1 with TheHip41 that calling with 94o in BB vs CO open is bad.

DonJuan, apologies in advance if this is my misunderstanding of how you were trying to communicate BB defense vs BTN open.
Per DonJuan, below in quotes is DonJuan's BB defense range vs BTN open which I imagine is at least somewhat close although not as wide vs CO open as BB.
