Default Re: Is this even a tough spot?

I rather overcall on the button than completing in the sb with hands like these. With a 2gapper, you are basically hoping to flop a gutshot straightdraw or a flushdraw. And that flushdraw isn't even anywhere near the nuts. Lots of awkward spots postflop. It's certainly not a big leak to complete here, since you get good odds. But playing postflop isn't that easy with a weakish draw. And even if you hit big in an unraised pot, you will have trouble getting value on your hand, since you are always displaying a fair amount of strength when you lead into a field of limpers...
