    Default How do you play small blind?

    I have some problems playing as the SB.

    Calling is 1/2 normal price, so you pay less to call, and can call with worse hands...

    How loose should you play SB compaired to UTG?

    Thanks

    Whoa, hangon a second. Yes, you are often getting better pot odds in the SB. But remember also that in exchange, you are out of position for the rest of the hand, so if you don't flop a monster you might be in trouble. I don't think the difference in price makes up for the positional disadvantage all that often. I will take a poke at it from the sb with a whole lot of speculative hands if the pot is multiway and unraised though.
    TylerK: its just gambling if i want to worry about money i'll go to work lol

    I hear you, dont worry, I'm not calling things like Q3o or whatever, but I do think i'm calling to much, and you have confirmed it.

    Thanks =)
