Re: Strategy Question about playing from big blind

I'd usually take the free flop in spots like this. These guys love to limp call with A9o or 55. Although calling with a small pp is actually not a bad thing for u here. But, the point is, they limp/call wide.

I agree people limp-call with some extremely goofy hands. The nice thing about the limp-y preflop action is it takes a lot of the hands you really don't want to see, like TT or AJ, out of a lot of people's ranges. If some joker wants to limp-call with A9o, it's not the worst thing ever. Most live SNGs have much more top-heavy payout structures than internets ones, which actually makes a decent amount of wild 8-handed plays profitable in a 75/25/0 structure than aren't in a 50/30/20 structure.
EDIT: I like this play more with J6o than I do with 32o. Your hand's value can't be too low against retarded limp-call hands, so I guess you might want to look at your cards before playing. Whatever... take every advantage you can get I guess.
