SB and BB play

trigs

i was wondering what people's opinions are on SB and BB play. is it acceptable to have a losing record in the blinds?

in the BB position, over my last 3000+ hands, i actually am up just slightly in BB won per hand. in the SB position, i'm slightly down in BB won per hand. I guess this makes sense since i'm more willing to play a hand in the BB as opposed to the SB.

but just to reiterate my question, is it normal to have a losing record (i.e. negative BB per hand) playing from the blinds? or is it normal for good players to still see positive results from the blind positions?

You're supposed to lose money in the SB / BB....

You're forced to put money in every time, and that's not likely to have hands that are expected to be +EV

I don't think I know (m)any people who have a positive win rate in the blinds. Just fold them and steal from the button and cut off

I would go back and check your HH over this time and look at some of the biggest pots you've won. 3K is not a huge sample so I guarantee you've booked a couple of big wins in that position.
