I play in a 1/2PLHE game a few nights a week I consider the game weak/tight overall, most of the regulars are pretty easy to put on a hand and make a quick decision to get out or stay, save one who plays almost every hand and is liable to show you any two cards under the sun.
I often fold on the small blind, as well I will also fold in either blind if there is a $5 straddle(3-4 semi-regulars will post this quite often when they are in the game).
Now my question should I be calling the $1 or straddle everytime or more often if I have a even remotely playable hand? Just to see the flop and see if it hits me hard or is that just pissing money away?
I was assuming the latter but after playing three nights in a row for very long sessions I wonder if I am wrong.
