Default What Kind of players do the blinds have to be for this to be good?

A friend of mine (Mahinic) and I were talking the other day about shorthanded, blind play, and all that. Lets say your OTB with 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. 1 loose/somewhat aggro limper. What kind of blinds do you need for this to be a profitable move? Do you want TAA SB and a Very loose passive BB, because if the SB tries to iso 3 bet you, #1. he's not going to do it with hands that dominate you like A9o, Q9, K8, etc and #2 suddenly you have a 4 way, 3 bet pot with a good drawing hand + position + a big pot? Or do you want a loose SB and a TAA BB, because if the SB calls, the BB is coming along with other hands? Or do you just want two blinds that play poorly? Or is this move never profitable? I like moves like this, because you can often big up the blinds cheaply on a big flop, and usually will be able to get a free turn card on a ragged flop.

I want the blinds to be tight enough so that I can get this heads up a fair amount of the time.

If they are really loose, limp it.

Yep.

I raise this against tighter players and limp vs. the Sheriffs.
