Another thread brought this up and I am really surprised by the tendency. A few posters said they never complete in the small blind in 3-6 with suited junk such as 9-2s.

I frequently complete with any 2 suited with 4 limpers and any connectors above 45 with 5 limpers.

Is this terrible?

the general consensus on the "right" way to play from the SB is to complete with what you'd call on the button with

Victor: there's a real difference between the 1/3 and 1/2 blind, in addition to the more aggressive nature of 3/6 games, so yeah, sthief's advice is pretty much the general wisdom.

With a SB that is 1/3 of the BB you should treat it almost like you have to complete a full bet. Your awful position probably costs you a big chunk of that 1 chip.

In a 1/2 or 2/3 structure you can start to play more hands.
