Raising BB from SB
 

Just wondering what you guys think about my betting and calling from the SB. New to the table, didn't know much about opponent's play.

Re: Raising BB from SB
 

A raise first in from SB with a suited ace is fine. However, don't min.raise. The basic reason you raise this is to steal his blind. A min.bet has zero to none folding equity.

I'd probably fold to his raise, buit I would not be in the situation.
