Re: 45o in BB
Perhaps I used the term "easy" too loosely here. Let me rephrase it and say that folding would be an error given the number of opponents and the BB's hand.
Granted that the button may be a superior player (which jace seems to recognize from the context of his post). Does this mean that you scrupulously avoid getting into pots with him? Obviously not. What it means is that you play carefully against him.
I think that the BB has a good hand to play against the button. You play if you flop 2-pair (or better) or an open-ended straight draw. Everything else can be folded immediately. Further, when the BB gets a favorable flop, the board is generally going to look pretty ragged to his opponents. This should make it easier for the BB to play well post-flop.
