Default Re: Small blind vs big blind

Why not just minraise preflop?
That way you are not even giving the BB a chance to see the cards for the same outlay.

What do you do if the BB calls or even raises your flop bet?

I don't think calling is a good move if the big blind is aggresive at this blind level. But calling and then betting the minimum bet risk's little, and i think it is a reasonable move if the big blind is often checking preflop and then frequently folding the flop.
If the bigblind raises on the flop, it all depends on how good your hand is off course, and how aggresive you rate your opponent to be.

I would guess that this move looses value when you move to higher SNG's when your opponents gets better. But i have used this move at the 30+3 SNG's and my feeling is that it is a winning move for me at this level, even though it feels weak.
