I know that completing the sb is a chip leak for beginners thinking there already half way in. My question is is it really that bad of strategy for live 200nl. In a unraised pot at the minimum you are getting at least 10 to 1 odds on your money even with hands that really dot have that much value it doesn't seem like a bad play. Is this the correct way to think? Is it still bad strategy? If it is still bad strategy what are some reasons?

I complete anything from the SB that has decent implied odds like SCs, Axs, Kxs, PPs.

I wouldn't just limp anything though. Playing hands like A3o OOP is horrible.

I also limp hands that I don't really like raising from the SB with a bunch of limpers in like ATo, AJo, which are also terrible to play OOP, so I dunno how good that is, I just can't bear to lay em' down.

I think the problem with limping too much is reverse implied odds with junk like A3o. Hell...maybe even ATo is a reverse implied odds situation in a tighter game.
