Blind Defense - short handed.

Completely agree. Overall I think that style is a losing one.

I’m just pointing out that it is a more successful style than one might initially think, precisely because he can be in fine shape against many hands that look like they should have him crushed.

Definitely. I think the question to really mull over is whether it's possible to make this style successful. If you want to get the image/tilt benefits, you have to do this so much that I think it's probably tough to escape -EV in sum. I mean, you can't selectively decide when you're going to call off a stack with 5677 on the flop because you might be a coinflip, right? Seems like an all-or-nothing proposition, and "all" is probably not +EV.
