Why am I losing so much money from the blinds??
Hey guys, I was just checking my position stats in PT and I am losing a lot of money in the blinds!! Could you check your own stats and see if you are winning, break even, losing a little or a lot? Thanks.

Does anybody make money from the blinds in the long run?

no, you can only hope to lose less than the .5 BB and .25 BB that they make you pay.
EDIT: not hope. you can do it. but the best you can probably do is -.5BB < your BB winrate < 0.

Of course it does. Maybe the best live game players could. :/

You are forced into a hand when out of position. There was an interesting thread on position and win rates discussed in the following thread:
