Internet on blinds defense

"i dont have a fixed answer, but you also need to take into account relative skill as well. For example if someone barrels 100% it's really easy, just see your flop equity + pot odds vs his range and then call 3 streets. Same goes for someone who is always checking down.

For someone with very good aggressive frequencies you should expect not to get to showdown that much. I think you would need at least 50-100% more pot odds than fold equity vs such a player.

You also need to think about playability of your hand. For example 94o has 36% equity vs an 80% opening range. But since playability is so poor you probably don't even get to realize your equity half the time. And if you only have 18% out of 36% equity, you can't call a minraise cos you get 23% pot odds.

On the other hand, with 96s you have 43.6% equity. Assuming you can realize at least 60% of your equity due to the playability of your hand and assuming you don't get owned by your opponent, you would have like 26% equity which is enough to call a minraise (23% pot odds).

It's quite difficult to quantify everything but you could try to "

"comparing K2o equity monster but playability trash to 75s equity trash but playability monster


K2 equity comes from Khi which is usually in the bluffcatcher region and tough to play, hence bad 
playability75s equity comes (at least more so than K2o) from straights and flushes which is usually in the nuts category and awesome to play. (and draws to those, that is better equity to play with because it turns into the nuts sometimes, rather than Khi equity, which turns into a river best hand Khi sometimes)"
