Completing in the SB, getting raised

[Mr. Graff]

All fold to a weak limper in the CO or button. You hold a hand like K9o or A6o and complete (raise/fold maybe better?). BB raises. Do you call with these likely dominated hands? How about J8s?

The reason I ask is I often let go of a hand preflop in the SB after a BB raise and I rarely see others do it and I am starting to question whether it is correct.

most others are not good at poker. it depends on the player raising, but i think it is better on the norm to fold those A6o/K9o hands.

This is something I've been wondering about lately too, since I typically come in for a raise if I'm opening from the SB with any A, almost any K, and some hands like a connected J. A lot of times I feel like I'm spewing chips postflop (which may be a separate issue).

FWIW I'm more comfortable raising K9o than A6o. Is that completely backwards?

To respond to your question, I wouldn't fold any of those to the BB raise, and am happiest about J8s (because its less likely to be dominated, as you pointed out).

EDIT: Fat fingers facilitate faulty... typing.

there is a limper in the situation he is describing.

You mean not complete at all or fold to a BB raise?

Gotcha - beats playing a tough hand out of position.
