Default When to call/fold in SB?

Could you post examples of situations where you would call/fold your small blind with limpers.

For example, it is a 9 player stt with 6 left.

There are 2 limpers. BB/SB are 100/50 you and the limpers and BB all have about 2400 chips, it is a low buy-in tourney and you know that 1 of the limpers is loose and the other tight. What range should I be calling with here?

Don't all rush to post at once!! No, seriously I could do with a few pointers on this. How many Ax hands are you calling here, how many Kx, what range of suited cards would you call with here, etc. I've read about getting calling odds for connectors and suited connectors but are they really that good to call with OOP or is it best to just fold most of them here?

I guess something like 910 suited is a good call here but what about K10 or A8 both unsuited, are they just trash or worth calling with?

Yeah, I think as a general rule tight is right, because like I said before you are OOP and I guess the requirement should not be too much different from maybe middle position because on the plus side in sb there is less chance of a raise behind you and you are also calling less chips. But being OOP is a big negative.

There you go I've almost answered my own question. lol

well what i got from the responses wa that it doesnt make a whole lot of difference. When you get to the 50/100 level though that 50 could make a bit of a difference so you need to tighten up here.
