Re: defending you Big Blind in a 10 or 9 seat full ring game...
just to add to that, In Ed's article he points out that opponents sometimes DO behave differently, due to the fallacy of the 'blinds coming around faster, so you have to play more hands'. so it could be correct to defend more in a shorthanded game versus a raise from the same position because your opponents overadjust to the shorthanded-ness.
not sure if someone has mentioned that aspect yet but it was in ed's article IIRC (haven't read it in a while) so I thought that was interesting.
