Default 1 bet to you in the big blind

what are your calling standards if you in the big blind with a less than special hand in your avg run of the mill low limit ring game? i usually call if i have 2 connected cards like 56o or 2 decent suited cards i.e. T7s. is this a leak?

Also is not playing a hand like T8o for one more bet a leak? I always fold an offsuit hand of that caliber and lower away if im in the BB. How big would the pot have to be to make a call like that?

How many limpers?
Any cold-callers?
From which position did the raise come?
What are the raiser's PFR standards?
What is your table image?

You shouldn't be playing things like 56o from the BB for a raise or T8o. If their were 5+ people in the pot I might call T7s, but that isn't a very good hand either. I you're regularly calling raises in the BB with 56o, I think you need to tighten up significantly.

If the bet came from UTG it is likely a strong hand. If the entire table folds to the CO who open raises then it looks rather suspect.
