I play cheap blinds (.05/.10)...some players have the habit of going all-in before the flop when they kinda get low stacked. Even when they aren't low stacked, maybe 2-3 bucks, they still go all in sometimes. Let's say I have A-Q or A-J. Obviously, something like a K-K and A-K I would call, but should I just fold the hands such as q-j and all that? I've seen a lot of ppl who play crap hands and you probably wouldn't know this without seeing how the guy plays, but should I just fold these hands and always wait to see the flop online before calling an all-in, or just stick to playing the top three hands or maybe Q-Q and J-J? Also, since the blinds are so cheap, when I am in big blind for .05 and I get cards like k-4, should I just always call when in this position to see a flop? I have seen ppl call with crap hands that you can't make a straight or a flush and they can usually pair one. Then, obviously if someone makes a big bet, I can get away from it, but at least I saw it cheaply for .05 with the possibility of trips coming. Thanks for the advice.

And don't call their all ins with AQ/AJ unless you've seen them push weaker hands many times

To be honest (and to summarize AOK's post), the fact that you only have to complete for 1/2 a bet doesn't take up for the fact that you're playing crappy cards with the worst position possible
