Should there be any change in 5nl or 25nl small blind strategy based simply on the fact that at these two stakes we only pay 1.4 bb's per orbit compared to 1.5 bb's per orbit at almost all other stakes.
Some possibly interesting or relevant math:
assume a 100k hand sample. 100k hands divided by 6 (for seats at the table) = approx 16,666 orbits to play that many hands.
16,666 orbits x 1.5 bb's per orbit = 24,999 forced bb's
16,666 orbits x 1.4 bb's per orbit = 23,332 forced bb's
24,999 - 23,332 = 1,667 less forced bb's over the same hand sample. So basically at these two limits you are forced to put in over 16 buyins less mandatory bets than at most other stakes.
For someone who possibly plays a lot of these stakes, how would this affect your winrate? How would it affect your overall strategy, if at all? How would it affect your small blind strategy, if at all?
All numbers in this post are approximate.
I guess, (this is purely from a theory approach rather than mathematical approach), it's good to attack the BB from the SB, but yet at the same time, it's not as bad to fold, so I guess either is good?
That doesn't make any sense at all, I know.
It's a good thought though, I'd never even contemplated it before.
