Episode 17 - Why are we calling 87s when its losing 200bb/100?
As per my title, I get the part that we want to defend 70% of hands to the 7.5bb raise from the BB villain, but if, as Peter suggests, the 87s hand is losing 200bb/100, why would we want to defend with it even if its part of our top 70% of hands? Seems a little counter-intuitive.

You have to compare it to the EV of folding.
I haven't seen the episode, but if you open to 2.5bb, then fold to a 3bet, then the EV of your line is -250bb/100, therefore calling is higher EV than folding
thanks. That makes sense
