How often do you defend your big blind or small blind with a so-so hand, and when the hand is over your looking at felt or a lot less chips than when the hand started. I think this is a leak for a lot of us players, especially newcomers to the world of NL Holdem. We wind up trapping ourselves. For me I look at the hand and say, " What was I doing in that hand anyway". Just my thoughts. And yes, it just happened to me...that's why I made the thread... ROFLMAO

I can completely relate. I have learned to play tight in the blinds these days.
