Default Re: Calling from the blinds

well, I normally apply my starting hand requirements to whoever raises as well... for example, if UTG raises, there is a good chance he's holding 2 strong over cards or even a high PP,... as a result I tend not to call marginal hands, based on reads and what position the raise came from, because chances are if you head you may end up stuck in a situation that you dont wanna be in... esp if you hit top pair, or something like that. when you are going for low suited connectors .. .what are you trying to hit? a straight? or a flush? well, the odds of that happening are like 123 - 1 (read that in john vorhaus) which means that you wont be flopping any of those often.. I guess I would see what hand I would be trying to make, calculate the relevant pot odds and whatever else you need, and act accordingly. I tend to play really really tight blinds, because of the horrible position I am in post flop.
