Re: Defending your BB in Limit

From the article:

...when I’m in the big blind, I’m showing an overall loss of less than one big blind with 140 of my 169 hand combinations — meaning that as of now, I do better by calling with those 140 combinations than I would by folding them. To me, this is a pretty strong indicator that all of the people who advocate a loose blind-defending strategy are on the right track.

This isn't clear to me. Is he referring only to hands when his BB is raised? Otherwise, this doesn't seem like a good argument at all.

Those are my overall numbers for the big blind. My point was just that since I seem to be doing well from the big blind, and that loose defending is a big part of my big blind strategy, I think people who advocate loose defending are thinking along the correct lines.
Incidentally, I show a loss of more than one big blind with even fewer hands when I voluntarily put money in the pot from the big blind.
