Re: Did the flop miss my opponent?

How would narrowing the hands he could have increase the chance that the flop missed?

If you know your opponent is playing high cards, then most rag flops will miss him , while most broadway flops will hit him.
It's a well known effect in the case of playing against limpers. If you are one of those crazy forum people who thinks Q5s is a playable hand, you are often ahead on a 7-5-2 flop but often way behind on a K-Q-J flop.
Vs. the big blind the effect isn't nearly so dramatic because the range of hands for the blind is so much wider.
I suspect the OP's intent in asking this question about the blinds was simply get the easy answers of 38C2/47C2 and 42C2/47C2, according to whether he is dodging nine or five cards, and avoid considerations of which cards someone not in the blind might be playing.
