Great pics Gelford! She's cute.

Wow Bsball, that's nuts. You should've gone up to backin out girl, started rubbin on her, kissin her neck, and said in a Barry White voice "Cmon baby, once you get to second base, you're not gonna wanna stop, just hang on and go for home."

a discussion on the profitability of playing small PPs from the blinds in HU pots, taken from the stars regs thread:

-select specific hands: 88, 77, 66, 55, 44, 33, 22
-hands with between: 2 and 2 players seeing the flop
-blind status: either blind
-VP$IP: put money in
-pre-flop raise: no raise
-steal attempted against ur blind: steal attempted

this will show u all the situations where MP or BTN raised when u were in the SB/BB, u defended with a PP <99 by calling, and everyone else folded.

i dont do anything fancy in these situations such as play-back on certain boards vs habitual blind stealers, as i regularly play 12+ (fast) tables at a time. playing my very ABC game, i am currently winning at 6ptbb/100, and am showing a 1.5ptbb/hand winrate in these situations.

And what Kolo said is correct.. too many TAGs have a wide opening range from MP that makes it very difficult to extract value from when you cold call in the blinds with a small/medium pocket pair. However it's not surprising you can show a profit by doing that due to the lack of skill that still makes $50NL a profitable game. Of course there's still enough donks/bad LAGs that will still make cold calling in the blinds correct a lot anyways.

however, considering villain's MP range is going to be tighter than his CO/BTN range only further proves the point that calling in the blinds with small PP is absolutely profitable at these stakes. the reason is that villain is more likely to stack off with his MP range because his MP range is more likely to flop TP+. assuming we continue the same (ABC) style of play we had when playing PPs OOP vs blind steals, our profits are going to increase when we hit sets (the vast majority of times we continue with our hand) because villain is much more likely to stack off.

i adjusted the filters in PT so that the only hands showing were those where anyone raised when i was in the blinds, i defended by calling, and the pot went HU to the flop. over a significantly larger sample size than that of the previously filtered DB, i show almost the same ptbb/h winrate.

the point is that what whitelime and others have discussed about playing small PPs from the blinds only matters when ur playing against good, aggressive opponents. at uNL there are very, very few players that meet the criteria.
