It depends. If there are mutliple limpers, I think you should definitely complete. Otherwise I would fold most of the time.


Get a second opinion though [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

In a small stakes game complete with any ace in the sb if it is unraised. Same goes for any suited cards and most kings.

I disagree with this. Definitely complete Axs if no raisers, but I think playing A7, A6 etc. in the small blind is not profitable, especially as much as small stakes players will limp in with any ace. If an ace flops, it is easy to be dominated.

Playing too loose out of the blinds is one of the most common errors that small stakes players make. Ax sucks out of the SB even for 1/2 a bet.

My cutoff point is ATo. I occasionally play A9o, depending on the BB, and the kind of players in before me.

What do most of your do when it's folded to you in the SB with Axo?

It just depends on how many limpers there are, and how confident you are in your post-flop play.

It makes no difference what cards you have if it is folded all the way to the SB you should raise. You should also raise on the flop regardless. From there you must feel it out but more often than not the BB will have folded by then.
