Default Re: Could someone please comment on the merit of these thoughts?

This is bad. It hurts their equity, because this is clearly suboptimal bubble strategy. It hurts my equity because it makes optimal bubble strategy wrong, forcing me to tighten up and sacrifice a large part of my edge. You don't want people calling your all-ins with hands like A2o, 22, QTo, T7s, etc, you want their damn blinds.

I believe there is some sort of contradiction in that paragraph. "Optimal bubble strategy" is dependent upon the calling range of your opponent. It seems that you're saying that people are catching on and expanding their calling range which forces you to tighten you pushing range...which just means that you're approaching optimal bubble strategy from both sides. If they've forced you to give up a large part of your equity advantage, it would appear that they're doing something right, wouldn't it?

Bottom line is that optimal pushing strategy often depends upon calling ranges. (Sometimes there's nothing the opponents can do to erode your equity advantage.)
