Default Re: pimp my blinds

You can def raise anything you would play on the button here as SB can have a near random hand when he completes plus you have position for the rest of the hand.

Don't get carried away though.

The EV of your raise has two components. It can either be for value because you think you hold a better hand or because it might increase your winning chances (either by folding him out right away or if he's the type to give up if he misses the flop)

So, just look at the range of hands that SB completes with, look at your hand. Be more likely to raise if you think he'll dump his hand or if he'll give up easily on the flop.

If you're against someone who calls everything though, there isn't much point to it. However, against someone who isn't going to call you down enough you can practically steamroll them to the river and show a profit.
