Default Re: Calling from the SB with any two...

[ QUOTE ]
7 limpers is enough to get me into the pot with any two; I don't see how anyone can pass on 17:1 odds in that scenario. If my opponents are really bad postflop in addition to being really loose preflop, I'd drop that down to 6 or sometimes even 5 limpers.

I really don't like this line. Let's say you hold 2 7 offsuit in this multiway pot. What kind of hand will you need to call a bet on the flop? I'd say two pair or better minimum. The odds of doing this are about 3.5%. You need around 28 to 1 odds to see the flop, not taking implied odds into account. Now this early on, the implied odds are a significant factor, but I don't think they're significant enough to turn it into a call.
