Blinds affect folding equity, pushing range and calling range.
Do you play the hand that you posted exactly identical with blinds 25/50,200/400 and 2000/4000 ?

Yes, if CO shoves it I call with exactly the same hands whether blinds are 25/50, 200/400 or 2000/4000. If I was in the BB though calling ranges would be different. |
Of course this all changes if we're going to blind out before the opps, but this situation is highly unlikely if we're the second stack. Also, the size of the blinds can also change the hands we can put opp on, but that's not relevant if it's ATC. Other than that I'm with Taipan on this, ICM gives you your chance of winning 1st, even if we call and win we are not going to win every time, and when we fold we can still win a lot of the time, so saying 1st is better than 2 3rds is fairly irrelevant here.
Good thread tai
