Playing SC\'s from blinds a big leak? (or a leak in general)
So I generally play a decent amount of SC's from the blinds (or just in general). I've been told it's pretty bad by some while others say it's not really as big a leak as others.
Situation 1: CO regular (tag) pops it up to 3.5BB, you're Button with 56ss or 78ss, is calling here a big leak (obv 3-betting is an option, but for all intensive purposes, lets say you decide to either fold or call.) Situation 2: Some donkey from MP raises it up to 3.5 BB again, and another donkey in CO calls and folded to you in SB with 56ss or 78ss, is calling here a big leak? What about with hands like 68ss or 46ss? Situation 3: Tag (nitty) regular, raises from UTG, and another TAG calls in UTG+1, folded to you in BB with 56ss or 78ss, is calling that big a leak? What about with 1 gapped suited connectors? Gah, after posting this, it makes it sound like I'm trying to get info for free or leach but I honestly just wanna know if its a leak or if its OK?

3 betting in all of these situations is better than calling most of the time. I generally fold 70% raise 30% or something like that.
As far as whether or not it's a leak, that's for your PT to tell you. If you play SC well OOP and without initiative then no it isn't a leak.

I think that raising sometimes is going to be more profitable, but obviously this is extremely situational and dependent on your opponents. One thing I do not understand is that why you would be folding 70% and raising 30% if it is profitable for you unless you are saying that 70% of the time the dynamics (as I talked about earlier) are not right. Next, I think he is right about it depending how well you play them OOP. Overall I think that there are times for all 3 plays, even given these somewhat specific situations. You cant really answer this question completely without writing a book about it. Post some hand histories with reads, ect to get a better response.

If you play better than your opponents postflop you can call with a wider range imo.
Playing fit-or-fold isn't going to show a profit, you're gonna have to checkraise bluff some etc etc.

It's like "oh man I have 5 high but I might flop real good so I better put a whole lot of money into the pot right now and possibly be pushed out immediatly and maybe if I'm lucky get my money in with 5 hi and 40% equity on the flop".
