How does the blind structure being 3/5 for the 5/10 game on ABS affect your bb/100? obviously the strucutre is -EV compared to the 2/5 blind strucutre normally, so how much is it affecting you?

Well, other people have to pay the blind as well. So it's not -EV overall I would think. If you mean specifically in the SB. A logical way to do it would be to figure out how much you losing in other structures. Then divide that by the blind. This gives you the percentage of the blind that you’re losing. Then take that number and multiply it by the increase in the SB. This should give you the increased amount you can expect to lose. This assumes you know how much you're really losing in the SB in other structures.

Blind structure is not inherently -EV. Different blind structures just require different strategy. A SB that is 5 instead of 1 will create a bigger average loss per hand in the SB, but your other positions would be better off if you're playing well.
