The Well: Whale

This thread is amazing, thanks for the effort BW its much appreciated.

I don't think anyone has touched on playing from the blinds yet. I'd be interested to know if you deviate from the "play as tight as possible from the blinds" advice usually given. Note here I am not talking about blind vs blind as that is a little different. Example:

25 or 50NL, You are in the SB with KQs. All your opponents suck and are running stats of like 40/10. Its a family pot and is limped to you (this is honestly standard, I see this all the time). Limp along, or raise it up big? I have found that often raising will take the pot, but sometimes I'll get like two callers and end up playing a raised pot OOP against more than one opponent - bad.

Whats better - to raise and risk that, or to play the hand multiway OOP in a limped family pot? I haven't played enough hands to decide which is more EV...

I guess this seems like a basic question (i.e. don't raise, moran) but I'd like to see if you can shed any light on your blind play in general.

Cheers!
