bingo. As a rule of thumb you want to defend with hands that contain 35% equity vs you opponents range.

That's sort of a crappy rule of thumb. I've recently went through my db (I defend more than I should, so my sample sizes are pretty big), and I'm pretty sure the "rule" should be slightly less than 35% for suited hands, around 35% for offsuit connectors, and somewhat above 35% for offsuit big-litle type hands. I'll let others do the work themselves to come up with the exact numbers.


Thanks for the equilator ref--I'm gonna check it out right now.
