ok ive been thinking about this for a while now.
I think u might be wrong.
I wrote out a little argument here:
OTR with a bluff catcher.
Your opponent bets pot with a balanced range.
He has 20 value combos and 10 bluff combos.
Which is the best bluff catcher, 2nd best, 3rd, and worst?
A - you block value and you unblock bluffs
B - you block value and you block bluffs
C - you unblock value and you unblock bluffs
D - you unblock value and you block bluffs.
A - 19, 10 = 65.5 BEST
B - 19, 9 = 67.9 3RD
C - 20, 10 = 66.6 2ND
D - 20, 9 = 69.0 WORST
^the goal here it to make our opponents range contain a LOWER PERCENTAGE OF VALUE.
This is achieved best in case A. and worst in case D. these seem pretty obvious.
It gets more interesting tho for cases C and B. and answering this will answer our question, "when picking a bluff catcher, is it better to block value or to unblock bluffs?"
Here we see that case C is a better bluff catcher than case B. so we can say, "it is better to unblock bluffs than it is to block value"
does this make sense?
