The (un)Definitive Blind Play links
If I wasn't such a lazy bum, I would give you a little synopsis of expert blind play but instead I'll just give you the links. I know I'm missing some good ones so please add your favorites.

Re: The (un)Definitive Blind Play links
Greg's turkey day quiz, and the conversation that followed concerning hand 1 (A9s in the BB to an EP raiser) brought up a general point that I think merits discussion. Why are we calling here if we know we are getting ourselves into a WA/WB situation? I know this is a favorite line of the forums, since one of our own coined it and all, but it doesn't seem to be a very profitable line, if you can avoid it preflop. Basically, if you know that hitting your ace is not going to be good a large percentage of the time, and hitting your 9 will be good even less, I don't know why you would subject yourself to a WA/WB situation when you can just fold preflop and get 'em next time.
In 6max, I think it's fine to call here since people's raising standards loosen up so much, but I kinda want to generate a basic discussion of the merits of getting into a WA/WB situation when you can easily avoid it.

Re: The (un)Definitive Blind Play links
Ok, I agree with jaxup here as well. I was concerned because some posters that I respect were advocating a line with which I disagreed, but it was too late to have that conversation in the original thread, so I posted my concerns here.
