Rilla said it all. Only an idiot continually tries to steal 1 BB at a cash game. It's a losing proposition. I almost never raise from SB. It's usually more profitable to limp bigger hands against an even modestly aggressive BB and hope to slow play a few more BB out of him depending on the community cards. That's because I get better pot odds and implied odds to play that way in the blinds.

The bottom line is you have barely any pot odds or implied odds in a blind battle. If you call the SB you're getting 3:1. If you raise the BB you're getting 2:1 on a call. You start out at 2:1 for the pot, and you're rarely going to get payed off on hands you raise, which makes your implied odds really shitty. You improve you're implied odds by limping a strong hand here. You see, you're taking advantage of the only deception available, while getting 3:1 on the pot. I wouldn't do it every time, but it's not a bad deal. I'm a big believer in playing a passive SB.
