Small Blind Leak
 

I am a very tight player but will always complete the small blind ($5 $10) in a B&M game in an unraised pot figuring I am getting good odds. Is this really a good strategy? I will be out of position and although any two cards can win, I find I am rarely paid off if I hold 9-3 and 3-3-x hits the flop, whether I play it slow or fast.

Any small blind strategy comments?

Rather than mindlessly completing in the SB every time, I would recommend mindlessly raising.

WTF is going on this forum today?

Play even tighter from the SB than you do from the button, pot odds be damned.

I play LOTS OF HANDS, but 9,3o etc. needs to be folded, now 3,5o or 9,7o I play if 4 or 5 way, and it's only half a bet to call.

Call anything in the SB that you'd call on the button.

And anything suited.
