We raise 99 on the button

Why use such a strong hand as an example? Use an average stealing hand for a 35% ASB player. I think KJo is pretty close to average.

If we raise on the button and SB folds, the ONLY hands that are incorrect for the BB to call with are lower (dominated) king and jack hands. Every other hand has the proper odds to call.

Now, let's look at postflop mistakes.....

If our "reasonable" villain is just bad postflop, he will make mistakes, but those mistakes will be marginal . It's not like he'll go 4 bets on every street with an UI 72o or fold top set on the river after putting in lots of bets. He's reasonable. His mistakes will be pennies.

As far as my statement in the last post, or victor's link showing a similar statement, we are both generalizing for all blind situations. If Joe wants to bring up a specific example based on Tstone's table layout, that's fine, but I wouldn't be so fast to sacrifice the dollars we make in front of us for the pennies we make behind us.
