Miller's weak Sblind Bblind hand requirements

[Felipe]

I've always thought that a major leak in anyone's game was to call too much from the SB and BB. I've read the chapter on pre-flop requirements in Miller's SSH, and it says, if there's been no raise, and you're in the SB, call hands that can be called from late position. It also mentions calling 2 bets (half price for the BB) in the BB with some (weak) hands.

Maybe this is something a more experienced person should try? SB and BB are the worst positions inthe game post-flop. Are they granted some looseness because they pay less to see the flop, and they are "last to act" pre-flop?

Opinions?

First and foremost, these guidelines are for extremely loose games where you are almost always getting the implied odds to call with these weaker hands. you will notice that almost everything he recommends will play well in multiway pots.

Miller is also assuming that the reader is a better-than-decent post-flop player who can use his or her skills to make up for the deficit that playing such marginal hands can imply.
