Re: Using the \"Dope with a rope\" strategy in the BB (Blind defence)

...and that's gonna start with a lot of three betting preflop, a lot of checkraising on the flop, and a lot of getting to showdown. this is mixed in with a bunch of folding of course, we're not donating here.

This last part can't be said enough. There's lots of talk about aggression and trickery and the metagame here (which is all good stuff), but it usually assumes the reader will be straightforward enough to be folding the blatant misses, which happen a lot.
Many many readers miss this caveat, and start threebetting every flop and checkraising every turn, then assume that pots belong to them because, dammit, they read 2+2 and they deserve the money. And then they wonder why their variance is so high and their winrate is suffering.
