Agree, he can bluff with this air - but I think there's a decent likelihood that people overestimate the role of these types of hands in his range. Sure, they're there sometimes, but definitely not as much as we think. Main reason is that, as muzz so eloquently pointed out, it's co vs bu, meaning that the blinds are going to be squeezing quite a bit, which further means that a decent reg will be calling with sc types of hands probably less frequently than if dean was opening from UTG?
Dunno. Just feels as though I rarely win calling in spots like this vs half decent or better players - but maybe it's cos i'm folding here too much and not giving myself the chance.
Food for thought.
