Actually, I have another question about this kind of situation:

Should you be looser or tighter preflop because of the smaller blind? With the smaller blind it is often no longer correct to call some draws on the flop, but you can see more flops for the same amount...

I wrote a reply to this effect and didn't submit it. A good number of people think that you should play tighter because you aren't getting odds to "chase" postflop. This is a fallacy. It is almost like a NL game in that stealing blinds has little value. The way that I would play the game is see a ton of flops and cut way down on PF raises from up front.

The reason why it is correct is because you aren't "chasing" when you flop a draw. Flush draws and OESD's (what you are looking to flop) have enough equity to overcome the worse pot odds. The hands that you want to avoid overplaying postflop are one pair hands that might not be best. The people that really get hurt in this game are the ones that chase 2-pair draws. Now instead of getting 8:1 or 10:1 on the flop, they are only getting 4.5:1 or 5.5:1 (and 10:3 or 4:1 in a 1/2 kill pot). So the fish who constantly calldown with bottom pair are the ones that you can really exploit. Strong draws as you know either hold their own or gain value on the flop so as always you would be inclined to play them fast and really punish people who opt to stick around with one pair.
