Microlimit Blind Play

[GTSamIAm]

What hands can you play from the blinds in Microlimits? At what point do the odds justify playing any hand, even for a raise? What hands can you play against a raise from the blinds and which should you fold? Certainly there are many factors including the raiser's position, his raising standards, his postflop play, but could someone give a general idea for blind play in microlimits?

It doesn't give odds though. It gives rigid instructions, I am assuming?

[@bsolute_luck]

are you a NL limit player?

to answer all your questions: it depends

if you haven't read the book, read it. thought it may sound "rigid", you'll at least to begin to form a basis for your decisions- such as odds.

Your asking for waaaa-aaaaaayyyy to much information to expect a concise answer from anyone.

Largely, everything can be summed up by, "It depends." The trashier your hand, the more players you need in the hand to proceed.

To a steal-raise, you need to have better-than-normal reads on your opponent. Even then, your hand has to be better than average, unless you're confident you can outplay your opponent after the flop.

That said, if UTG raises, the entire table calls two cold and I'm in the BB getting 19-1 and closing the betting, I'll call with just about anything. But that's an extreme instance.
