Playing out of the Small Blind 1-2 NL

[RHoof]

Any general advice? I looked at my statistics and I am profitable in every position but the blinds, losing even more in SB than in BB.

Fold more small blinds. Don't complete unless you have something that is good in a multiway pot. And raise to steal occasionally.

Raise tonnes if folded to. Play tight to a raise. Complete any old [censored] that looks like it can hit a flop hard if there are limpers.

[RHoof]

If folded to I'll usually raise to $7 w/ a pretty good hand to a great hand -- say K10 to AA. I'll usually complete if folded to w/ hands like 56os, 10-8s, etc. If I get a 2-4 limpers in SB I'll usually complete w/ a lot of fairly marginal hands -- Q4s, etc. This is obviously not the right formula.

So, what do you raise if folded to? What kind of hands do you complete with, depending on the limpers?

How much are you losing? Look at BB won/100 in position stats...

You should expect to be losing in the blinds - I think an acceptable loser rate is upwards of about .20BB/100? Right?
