Yes, BB vs SB is a world of its own.
You doubt the strength of his hand, he doubts the strength of yours, and it becomes a merciless shootout.
And the one who opened too loose is the one who will inevitably suffer.

[ I had a spot like this once on the BB with AA.
I was literally praying in my mind for someone to at least call the big blind or make a small raise.
The SB flat-called me.
I checked, he made a small bet — I called, trying not to scare him away.
On the turn, the SB goes for an overbet.
I re-raise, he shoves, I call.
And he turns over QQ.
(The whole board was just numbers)
A brutally painful cooler.
And the funniest part is — in his place, it could easily have been me]😆

When the cooler is for us, we are happy and take the win as something normal.
And when it’s against us, we nervously curse the RNG for its unfairness.

But still, it’s better to play correctly and lose than to enter a 3-bet pot with 27o and beat aces.
The work invested in learning will definitely pay off.

I’ve also lost a lot because of weaker flushes, weaker straights, or a bad kicker.
But I think narrowing the opening range to 10–15% is also a -EV decision.
I chose a tight style of 26–30% of hands, and not to be the most predictable player at the table.
Predictability is the easiest target for strong opponents.
