Default 15/30 completing the small blind

2 limpers to me, I have 82s. If I complete I'm getting 11-1 on my call.

Is that sufficient for this piece of crap? 11-1 sounds good, but 82s is a really horrible hand.

I complete with every hand from the SB in that game. Any two suited is a total no-brainer.

I'd toss in the $5 here with nearly all of my hands. That includes any 2 suited.

That so?

And I know of no small stakes games with this chip structure.

And, in a small stakes game the call is probably +EV due to the fact the players tend to be worse and there would tend to be more limpers.

If you look at the pokerroom stats for 82s out of the small blind, it is a loser. It's losing more than a quarter of a big bet.

yes, that is so. one does not need to "understand" the chip structure in order to answer this question. you may be playing mid-limits, but the majority of your questions fall into the beginner class and they bring down the average quality of this forum.

Scott,

This is an argument for calling. If you fold the small blind, you are losing 1/3 of a big bet. As such, if you play as well postflop as the average Poker Room player (which you obviously do), then calling is at least .08 big bets better than folding.

Astro,

i think you are too harsh here. he IS in fact playing 15/30 games and the questions he asks involves mid limit players. the answers he get from the small stakes forum will surely not be as tailored to his games as ones he gets here.

and since there is no "beginners forum" or "experts forum", it is hard for him to post accordingly. on top of that, how does one truly know if he is a "beginner" or an "expert"?

Kenny

Almost. I'm spending 1/3 of a SMALL bet which is 1/6th of a big bet, and losing 1/4 of a big bet. And this is surely based on an average game of more than 2 opponents.
