Default Re: Calling a SB raise from the BB multiway
You'll have extremely good position postflop if you hit. The problem comes when you hit the board so hard that you want your opponents to stay in with draws.

Generally speaking, in this scenario I'm calling with almost any 2 suited regardless of who the SB is. Against all but the most aggro SBs I'm tossing any unsuited ace other than AK/AQ (I'll toss AQ if the SB is passive preflop). I'll generally call with unsuited connectors KQ-T9. I'll call with any pocket pair.

My range doesn't change much depending on how passive or aggressive the SB is preflop, because the pot odds don't change either. If I believe I have good enough implied odds to continue, I'm obviously going to see the flop even if I know for a fact that SB is holding AA.
