Hi all,
I'm just wondering if we can get some heads together on this one.
In a sample of 700,000 Hands. Nathan Williams (Aka Blackrain79) was able to show that playing from the blinds showed a negative BB/100 expectation with respect to table position. The results were as follows (See attached image).
I just want to make sure I am understanding these results correctly. His net BB/100 was 8.84 overall. Now if we do the calculation again and ignore the losses in the blinds:
We get a total of (9.75 + 12.29 + 19.28 + 26.05) bb/100 for the other table positions.
= 67.37 bb/100
So my question to the forum is this:
Please correct me if I have misinterpreted these findings! (Obviously it makes no sense to fold Aces and other strong holding simply because we are in the blinds... so this is where I'm having trouble)

So my question to the forum is this:
- Does this result mean that folding ALL hands in the blinds is correct in NL2 Cash Games based on this data?
- Is this result specific to a certain playing style? (TAG in the case of Blackrain79)
- If he had not played from the Blinds at all, during these 700,000 hands would his final result have been approximately 67.37 bb/100?

"As you can see, there are some enormous differences here. In fact, I have Lossrates for both blinds. And that is actually completely normal! Nobody wins from the blinds"

Thoughts anyone? This result came from such a huge hand sample, and if I'm wrong, I really wanna get my ass kicked on this one because I have to know.- Nathan Williams.
