When is it correct to just call in the small blind when it's folded around?

I have done it during 10/15 blinds, or with a loose-passive big stack in the BB and a marginal HU hand like J8o, or a monster hand with a very aggressive player in the BB.

Are these good spots to do it? Am I correct to assume it should be a very rare play? I see it all the time so I am wondering if I should be doing it more.

these seem like great spots to do it, yes. doing it in many other spots when you think you're against a weak but "likes to see flops" type player is also a fine spot. personally i think i used to do this too much, but hey, it does let you see some more cheap flops.

I just started 8 tabling by loading all 8 pretty much up at once. I hear people play in "sets" and continuously. What are the preferred methods? I think it would be better maybe for me to load up sets of 4 and stagger them, so I can concentrate better on only 4 at the higher levels.

swift,

most people do one of the following:

1) load up all the tables at once and then don't load any more til all those are done
2) load up all the tables at once and then open new ones as you bust out of old ones.

whatever works for you.

Citanul,

I am new to the site. I been playing online for about 2 years now mostly $2/4 limit at Party. I recently started playing party $11 and $22 SNGs. I am a limit player and just learning NL and Tournaments. I was wondering if the limit SNGs are profitable and why there doesn't seem to be much discussion of that game here. Thanks in advance for your input.
