Completing the small blind
I have seen a lot of posts/replies lately that are saying not to complete the SB with any two. And, as is the case with everything in poker, this is situational dependant. If it is folded to you, then perhaps you cant complete with any two, unless of course you have a good read on the BB and can outplay him/her postflop, in which case maybe raise it to get more into the pot. But, if I see 3-4 others limp before me, there is no way I am going to fold my 83 offsuit from the SB. The pot odds are just too good. Now, this obviously must be accompanied by the ability to lay down TP 3 kicker to too much strength, but if you have a good feel for your opponents, especially the BB, and have the discipline to lay down when it looks like the flop has 'made' your hand, then it can be quite profitable to complete with any 2. This is of course for lower level blinds in SnG's, not when they are 300-600 or higher. I cant really speak to whether this would be profitable in ring, as I dont usually play the cash games, but in theory it should work there as well.
Just my thoughts on the subject.
If I am completely wrong here, let me know.
