Default Re: Play from the SB

Both Small PP and Mid SC's are ahead of most of the BB's range, when folded around, by limping you are giving the BB both the advantage of position and initiative. More likely than not you have the best hand here, and by raising from the SB you can C-Bet the flop and take it down most of time.

I think that it is a far bigger leak to play a hand like a SC or small pocket pair here OOP and not raise!! Just to hard against a decent player.

A Caveat to this, is with a SC type hand I am probably not trying to raise A 70/10 type player when folded to me, I would rather just see the flop and outplay him, since it is already heads up.
