Default PLAYING THE BLINDS QUESTION.. XPOST FROM BEGINNERS FORUM

When you're playing the blind positions does "pot equity" come into play as to whether or not you play?

For example1: game 3/6 limit sb $2 bb $3

if you're in the SB with 8c4d (a hand you're not supposed to play) and there are 3 callers before you act.

pot size 3sb, pot equity is .5 bets to 3 (3/.5 = 6 to 1?) or 9/3? $9 in pot/$3 to call (9/3 = 3 to 1) BB still to act

if the BB raises then toss the hand. Move on the next round

for example2: game 4/8limit sb $2 bb $4

if you're in the BB with 6s9d and there is a raise in early position with 4 callers including the SB

pot size 8sb, "pot equity" is 8/4 = 2 to 1? fold the hand and move on?

if I'm wrong here please clarify what I'm doing wrong

Also in the SB/BB positions is there a "pot equity" min. that you should look for?.... greater than 3to1?

Probably not the best job in describing this question, but thanks for taking the time to read.

I'm probably missing something here so looking forward to the replies....
