Folds around the table, to the blinds.  What are the minimum requirements to call the BB considering a tight or aggressive opponent?  I feel like i might give up too many SBs.

I like to complete the SB fairly often and let the BB start to get aggressive and raise most of the times I limp.  Then smooth call the raise with a certain variety of hands and also smooth with huge pairs to totally set them up for failure on the flop.  If you fold it 80% of the time, they'll get the read that you're only completing with good hands I figure.

 I try to play the SB vs BB thing like I would play heads up.  Except I don't get carried away... I've gone way too far in these spots and lost a big chunk with some crappy no-kicker hand or whatever.


A  lot of it depends on the BB.  If he's always going to be crazy aggressive defending his BB, I'll give it up a lot, but still complete occasionally with weaker hands just so I can keep up the image, like the previous poster said.  If he's passive, I'll raise a lot.


When you have a short stack and a passive player in the BB, it's such a blessing!

Umm.... 'no'.
I hate playing from SB. As with everything though, it's situational - - it depends who's on BB, etc. etc.
