Re: When to Complete SB w/Garbage
Total trash like 72o, Q2o, J3o are 1:28 chance to hit a solid hands like 2 pair or better. So bascially the only time you play those is when the SB is 2/3. With 5 callers and the BB you are getting 21:1 on your hand right there. If you flop 2 pair or better can easily make the remaining bets later on down easily. With that many players someone hit.
Now for 1/2 the blind you still need a ton of limpers. Now you can call with a hand like 87o, J5s, Q3s. But you have to play it very carefully and have a table full of loose calling stations to the river to compensate for the times you get beat. With a hand like J5s you have about a 1:5.5 shot at making something decent 15.29%. Flush draw, flush, or 2 pair or better.
1/3 blind I treat pretty much like no blind. But I still count the odds there.
