Actually, a blind steal in fr isn't the same as 6max due to the higher likelyhood of the blinds having better hands since there have been more folds. The difference is probably kinda trivial, though.

My point was that the differences my not be +ev. Nothing is static, and adaptations must be made. Adapting to loose players is much easier than adapting to tight players who're adapting to loose players. The more you do certain stuff, the lower your edge becomes. Gauging ev preflop is pretty hard since ev seems to come from making hands and postflop play.

I have really good LP results with antipodal styles. I have not seen a difference yet between 25% asb and 45% asb. I'm not saying don't do it or it's bad, I'm saying I'm not convinced it's best.
