Such Q&A and I killed it. I can ask an easier question:

So how do you play SB with an average hand? How do you play with a strong hand? How do you vary based on prior action or different types of players?
With an average hand with no prior action before me i'd generally fold my cards. with a strong hand with prior action i'd defo consider a raise depending on the BB stack.. if their well stacked defo raise, if very low stacked i'd probably limp in and see what action i get from the BB.

whem im in sb position and some players have flat called i'd defo flat call too. if theres any raise befor me i normally fold with an average hand. if i have a strong i would call a raise depending on the amount raised compared to my stack.

If I'm playing small blind and no other action has been on the table I will sometimes play with a below average hand and try to nick the pot. This can come in handy especially when the ante's are in play.

If other players have raised then I will normally fold unless I have an above average hand.

Also the old "if I have my favourite hand" I will be more likely to play them whatever position I am in.

Im not a big one for defending my blinds..i just see it as a paycheck that comes around the table...

Im not sure if that is good or bad play?
