Re: PLAYING THE BLINDS QUESTION.. XPOST FROM BEGINNERS FORUM
OK, so this is going to be a bit rough maybe, but I'll try to help. SSHE says to play "any hand that you would play from the button" in a 1/3 blind structure (meaning that the sb is 1/3rd of the big blind). In a 2/3 blind structure, I think you can really play just about any two cards so long as least one person has limped in and you play reasonable well post flop.
Your pot equity math baffles me. The number you want is the odds the pot is laying you. If you're closing the action against a raise and 4 callers, then there are 11 small bets already in the pot (the raiser's two, two each from the 4 callers, and your big blind). You're being offered 11:1 for your trouble, which is a pretty nice price. If you have any sort of hand you should probably see the flop.
Hope that helps.
