Re: Blind Defense - short handed.
I agree with what Buzz and Gerg wrote. Another issue is postflop bettability. Many of these interesting EV matchups will never play out because the flop will allow an A2xx hand to bet liberally while a 5677 hand will feel great pressure to fold. If we got all-in preflop every time, then sure 5677 would be a more reasonable playing hand, but the way the game is structured it's junk because you'll have a hard time doing anything post-flop with it.
For example, A2QK rainbow could easily bet a 38J flop with two to a suit, while 5677 would take a look at that flop and get the hell out of dodge.
Yet, 2dimes tells us:
Omaha Hi/Low 8-or-better: 820 enumerated boards containing Js 8s 3h
cards scoop HIwin HIlos HItie LOwin LOlos LOtie EV
Ks Ac 2d Qh 193 325 495 0 342 72 0 0.488
7s 7c 6d 5h 213 495 325 0 225 342 0 0.512
So these 2dimes results have to be taken w/ a grain of salt.
