small/medium pps in the blinds

[Imthenewfish]

You can't really play for set value as villains range is so wide you only have a small chance of getting paid off. I'm not folding as I most likely have the best hand.

flipping oop isn't usually the best hand?

flipping oop isn't usually the best hand?

these were my original thoughts when i read the OP, and part of the reason why i said they are the most over-rated xx amount of combos to play out of the blinds. people seem to think that because they have a pair before the flop comes out that they have some great hand. this isn't necessarily the case. also, having to play them OOP 100% of the time, and with typically black/white (and more often than not, weak) postflop equity (when compared to Axs, Kxs, SCs, SGs), and also without the initiative (if we decide to flat them), they seem like pretty shitty candidates to play in heads up pots out of the blinds to me.

obviously this differs for different people though. if i didn't suck postflop i could obviously play more hands profitably out of the blinds against stealing ranges.
