Default Re: 15-30 Raise calling standards out of BB

Mez, points 1 +2 are exactly why I like calling here. Many players will get attached to a hand when they flop a piece of the board, but so long as you are able to toss TP and know how to calculate outs/odds, you can play such hands.

As for the SB, I'm adding in KX and AX hands. The theory being that these hands now have a much greater chance of being good when they hit. Kx especially as a lot of people limp AXs/o but most kings get raised (or folded). However your implied odds are less in a limped pot IMO. 1) People have less pot odds to chase. 2) There is no PFR you can use to juice the pot. 3) Limping hands tend to create monsters or weak hands.

The plus side is that it is a lot easier to take down a small pot with a little piece of the board.
