Other than that, just FOLD.
Assume no rake.
In no limit:
Let's say blinds are $1 and $2. Folds around to Hero on the button, Hero raises to $8. All fold.
Hero has stolen $3 for his $8 bet. Hero is getting 37 cents on the dollar.
Now, folds around to Hero in the small blind. Hero raises to $8. The big blind folds.
Hero has stolen $2 for his $7 bet. Hero is getting 28 cents on the dollar.
In limit.
Blinds are still $1 and $2, no rake.
Folds around to Hero on button, Hero raises to $4. All fold.
Hero has stolen $3 for his $4 bet. Hero is getting 75 cents on the dollar.
Folds around to Hero in the small blind. Hero raises to $4. Big blind folds.
Hero has stolen $2 for his $3 bet. Hero is getting 67 cents on the dollar.
In both instances, you are stealing less money from the small blind than you steal from late position, and you are getting worse odds. Ergo, you need a better hand to do it, even before you consider the fact that you are out of position.
