What time in the video?

not gonna look it up but somewhere around 20ish minutes i think.

33/10ish guy limps utg, some guy raises button, dd has T6o in BB. i don't think it's particularly close, even if both opponents are bad.

the 2/3 blind structure makes it closer but I agree with you. 97o and I call, 96o and its close. On the bright side DD's got a wide range at times and knows how to exploit the situation when he hits with marginal hands while not getting overly involved to minimize his potential losses. Whatever mistake is made pre-flop is minor since his post-flop edge is so strong.

that might make the button marginally more likely to raise, but i don't really see why that would make a significant difference.

slightly more money in the pot to fight over with fewer opponents. We also have relative position by acting after the button post flop which will doesn't quite balance out the ability to act last, but it does make it easier to isolate the button. Like I said in the last post I wouldn't call this slim personally, I might get as slim as 96o in this situation. The T is a big part of his limping hand range, oddly a 9 makes me more comfortable since we aren't playing for high-card dominance.

1/6 of a small blind gives you somewhere between 0.01 and 0.02 big blinds more in equity. it's probably closer to 0.01 with reverse implied odds considered. the fact that the small blind is slightly bigger really shouldn't affect your decisions in the big blind materially, unless you happen to know that LP players are raising significantly more because of it.

One thing that a lot of people forget is that calling in the BB there puts you in a good position to pick up the pot with a bluff on some of the extremely dry flops. That being said I would still say it's pretty close unless you know a lot about / play extremely well against the players in question. Might be a spot where you can run the hand at higher limits (30/60+) but not the lower ones (you pay something in the ballpark of 0.08BB/hand played in rake at 5/10).

I'm getting that DD has something like 23% equity here so I'm really having trouble believing he plays well enough postflop to overcome the RIOs that lack of pos. and really crappy offsuit cards bring. T7o has 25%, 97o has 25% and 96o has 23-24%. suspect they are all losers even if hoss/schneids/bryce/whatever played them.

of course somebody with a nasty big db could really come in here and shut down all my hand-waving speculation.
