From page 44 of "Hold-em Poker":
If you are dead last, at least call with almost anything, certainly Groups 1-6. You should call with Group 8 hands and even worse if there are many other players in.[1]
Then he goes on to say in the footnote:
This is not true for the double blind structure since a call costs too much. Stick to Groups 1-6 plus all pairs.
My question is why does it cost too much? Is it because now there are two people behind you who might raise you instead of one?
