Raising out of the SB

[LoaferGee12]

I recently found my SB raise % to be extremely high relative to preflop raise. (It's at 20% and my preflop raise is 19%)

I'm not sure what the cause of this is so I thought I'd ask what people are raising in this situation:

A loose player (say.. 45/10) limps UTG and you have a typical player in the BB. I am usually raising down to A8o here, A4s, KJo, KTs, QJs, and pairs down to 55.

I also may be raising a bit too much with 2 limpers to me. Here I'm raising ATo, A9s, KQo, KJs, QJs, 88.

Any thoughts on these 2 situations?

what is your win (lose) rate from the SB? - I think I am too conservative in the sb especially with EP limpers in as you have to play from the worst position for the rest of the hand….which I hate – for your specific hands I am:

A loose player (say.. 45/10) limps UTG and you have a typical player in the BB.
A8o – raise
A4s - complete
KJo – complete
KTs - complete
QJs - raise
and pairs down to 55 – complete

I also may be raising a bit too much with 2 limpers to me. Here I'm raising
ATo – complete
A9s - complete
KQo - raise
KJs - raise
QJs – raise
88 – raise (down to 77)

I lean towards raising more with the suited broadways as they will play better mult-way than Ax off suited…..

Just my 2 cents though

(.13)
I'm pretty sure that's awful.

This looks reasonable. I might raise aces a bit weaker against one limper, but probably only complete ATo and KQo against two depending on the limpers and the BB.

How many hands (in the SB) is this for? Could just be variance.

-.13 is not too good (if you are basing off a nice large dbase - like 100K+ hands)...what blind structure are you playing at ....mine is -.04 and I think that is about average.....I just find it hard to play allot of the quasi-good hands that you are raising with profitably post flop in first position - I tend to be hyper aggresive with position and am raising allot lesser hands from the button and playing a little more conservativly from the sb when there are limpers (however if it is folded to me in the sb I am raising almost anything).....AF
