The point wasn't that you wouldn't want to play if you had to be the SB all the time, but that because the BB has an inherent advantage, it is profitable to call .625+ from the big blind, no matter what the player in the SB is doing, so there's no need to modify the strategy at all.

Which means that there's some chance that any attempt to get a player to modify their strategy in the BB is going to do absolutely nothing except lose you more money.

Think of it like a game of roshambo (which can involve many levels of thinking), except that in this case, calling rock is always slightly +EV, no matter *what* your opponent is doing.

There isn't a need for the SB to change from his optimal strategy either, since whatever he loses as SB he will gain as BB.
