Default Re: Acceptable loss rate from the blinds

The amount you lose from the blinds depends on the way the table is playing, so it isn't easy to have universal rules. However, I believe you should be able to win more than half of your blinds back, for a loss of at most 0.25 PTBB/hand from the big blind, and 0.10 PTBB/hand from the small blind. In a very soft game, you might not lose money from the small blind.

Losing more than twice that is unacceptable, since it means you would be better off folding the blinds without looking at your cards.
