Default get rid of the blinds?

so i was thinking, even when great players 'snieds' for eg post their stats, every single time they're losing in the blinds, both big and small.....

so why not just get rid of the blinds and make it +ev?!


the fish won't notice the difference anyway, ad it'll be easier because action can just be tighter for +evvs

Maybe we could get rid of rake, too. I always lose money on that.

right, i understand that, but we wouldn't be getting rid of the FISH who are going to play all sorts of cards, which would be +ev for us 2+2+2ers

can you deny it?
