Can someone please direct me towards a bookmarked thread discussing the requirements to complete from the SB for various hands. Are there any publications that deal specifically with this topic when playing in low-limit games($3/$6).
Here are examples of a couple hands using $3/$6 SB=$1.50
QTo - 4 limpers
T6s - 3 limpers
A7o - 5 limpers
26 - 8 limpers

I don't remember a thread discussing exactly this. Many threads discuss when to complete the blinds. Part of it depends on the game texture and opponents, but I'd never play T6s, or 26. I'd generally play QTo and A7o, but I consider them marginal and would be very careful with them.

again, assume a $1.5 SB.

Assuming the SB is 1/2 the BB, I would do the following with these hands:

1) Call. The more limpers the better with this hand, because you are playing for the gutshot.
2) Fold. Call with more limpers.
3) Fold. I don't complete with Ax unless there are very few limpers.
4) Fold. Absolute trash.

I don't see many 3/6 games with this blind structure, though. In a normal 3/6 game I would fold all of these hands without a hesitation.

I would play A7o against one or two limpers but not more. Fold the 26o.

I would complete with 1 and 2, and probably fold 3 and 4. 3 is borderline.

rikray,

As I was eluded to in the past by Ulysess, I believe, if you re-read blind play in HPFAP you'll see 'any-two suited'. I began an experiment around then and I've shown profit from it.

Peace,
