Blind Defense against a poster.

[philnewall]

Um, if I was CO here my range would be precisely any 2, so I'd defend pretty liberally here.

I agree that I raise any 2 as the CO here, but that doesnt mean you should defend with any 2 unless you know the CO plays very poorly.

Yeah, you should probably 3-bet and lead any 2, or whatever the equivalent move is for you.

By the way, I don't raise any 2 in the CO for exactly this reason. In my opinion, everyone has figured this move out and they play very well against it.

Being out of position with no initiative with hands that are impossible to play postflop sucks. That's why I don't defend any 2.

as interesting as what to defend with is wether or not always raising in the c/o with any two is still a viable strategy or if it is now so widely understood that you must show some restraint. i backed off the total trash hands after i realized that i was hoping someone would raise or limp early since if not i would feel like i had to raise with my 72 or whatever.
id be interested in what others are doing in this situation or if the "standard" raise any two is still standard.

Lots of people raise any hand first in if they have posted.
