You think this is a leak?

I wish someone would explain the blind discounting so I could better understand which setting might be best.

A quick search of the SNG forums uncovered this:

It's very simple.

When you fold, equity is usually computed using the stacks before posting the blinds for the next hand.

However, another way to do it would be to compute equity after posting the blinds for the next hand. This is called "blind discounting."

The blind discounting options allow you to choose one, the other, or some percentage in between.

The correct choice depends on how aggressive the game is. If you expect to have your blind nearly always folded to you, then you would want to turn off blind discounting or use a small percentage.

If you expect your blind to nearly always be contested, then you should use blind discounting to some higher percentage.

I suspect this means that higher percentages should generally be used. (And, makes the +0.9% ScubaChuck came up with earlier rather optimistic.)

Scuba,

You have to few BBs and shorty isn't short enough to not push here IMO. Now if SB or BB is a calling maniac or you're pushing everything perhaps my opinion changes...but c'mon, you're gonna hurt either one of them if they call and lose - plenty of FE here considering the amount of blinds at stake.

i agree with all of this. you're not far enough ahead of shorty to make it affect your decision that much.

I posted this because it turns out this has a +0.9% expected value against Eastbay's default lag calling ranges. That's awfully high to pass up. I didn't know how big a value this was until I reviewed.

BTW, this is a $33 buyin.

I think those calling ranges are too tight. You can't see SB or BB calling with KTs? I've seen that call a ton of times. How about A2s? Or 33? Or JTs? All calls I've seen. If you change the settings to maniac for both you get -0.9%. Maniac for 1 and loose for the other and you get -0.1%.

[/ QUOTE ]

Look at the stacks again. I have "seen" these calls too, and they stick out in my mind because, frankly, I was able to see them. But Kt and A2 are also folded probably 9 times for every time we "see" the call with that hand. We don't know what these guys are folding all the time because, they're not calling...having seen some suspect calls is not good enough evidence for putting such hands in hypo call ranges.

In a vacuum I'd push, if that's what you're getting at.

Nah, in a vacuum you would explosively decompress.

There is no way that they are calling with 77+/A9+ here.

[/ QUOTE ]

This is highly debatable, one sees horrid horrid calls on a regular basis.

He's saying there's no way they call with that TIGHT a range..!
