A5o Blind Defense

[mdeck]

If he only stole 30% rather than the 45 or so I defend with AKs-A8s, AKo-A9o, KQs-K9s, KQo-KTo, QJs-Q9s, QJo-QTo, AA-66 and sometimes the small pocket pairs, JTs-J9s, JTo, T9s-T8s, 98s, 78s, sometimes 67s. I think I'm a little tighter than most and would probably 3bet more preflop. Against someone as aggressive as Villain I don't see much strategic benefit in 3betting, and since I'm out of position vs. a very aggressive player I think any value in 3betting is offset due to the fact that it negates the strength of the checkraise, which I feel is important to have HU oop.
