Blind Defense against a poster.

Relatively tight Party 30 game-- full table. New player posts in the CO. He raises, folded to you in the BB. Which of the following hands do you defend with?

i said A2o 76s 22 and 89o

i would 3 bet the 22 i think, maybe the 76s too.

I'm curious who doesn't defend with A2o.

[daryn]

or who does with J3o, 72o

probably someone who uses pokerstove too much. and doesn't understand position.

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

I don't use pokerstove and I understand position and I'd defend any 2 here. His position isn't going to make his crap any prettier after he misses the flop and I check-raise.

Depends quite a bit on the action and the player who raised. In a full Party 30/60 game, I'd muck A2o in the BB against a tight early position raiser if it got folded around to me. Wouldn't even have to think twice. Of course, I'd pretty much always defend against a new CO poster, however. Were you only talking about this latter situation?

I'm not qualified to vote regardless, but indulge me: does the "30" refer to 15-30 or 30-60?
