As boz says, no. Do the calculations for posting in the cutoff and you'll see why.

Re: Do you guys ALWAYS wait for the big blind before playing?
I always post when the button passes or in late position. If I feel like jumping in for a gambool, I'll post in other positions.
I seem to remember a comment from DaveC (supreme nit [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]) the other day saying that he wants to stop posting altogeather. It got me thinking, he may be onto something (he usually is in some weird way [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]). If my win-rate is xbb/100 hands, and my winrate out of the blinds is y (which will be negative). I guess this means that everytime I post out of position (a losing play) there is a function that will tell me how many more hands I have to play to compensate for this. The worse your blind play (and blind win (lose) rate, the more hands you have to play to make this back). I guess then, you could figure out a break even seat, based on how small your lose rate in the blinds are, from which seat you can post. It won't be right on, because you profit more from late position, but it might be interesting. Perhaps you could break it down to your win rate from each seat vs your winrate in the blinds to get closer to the mark. I think this would mean, if you somehow had a winrate from your big blind, identical to your overall winrate, you could post UTG and break even? Would that mean you could post in any other position and profit? Any maths people help me out on that one? Clearly I havn't put a great deal of thought into this yet, just an idea. |

Here is some more data although it's based on a small sample size. While posting in the CO shows a net loss for me at .25/.50 (-0.05BB/hand) it's a super small loss and much lower in magnitude than my losses in the blinds (around -.25BB/hand in the big blind and -0.09/hand in the small blind). It's insufficient data but certainly enough to make me question the DavidC hypothesis. in any case the overall effect is so small either way I don't think it matters much.

Doesn't that mean it takes you 10 hands to get that back, in which case you should just wait your 7 hands or whatever til the BB comes around. I don't know if my maths is correct. I don't do maths goot. |
