It'd be great if breathweapon would discuss this. I'm not really sure anything much would come of it, since it's such a broad question, but maybe he'd be willing to breakdown his general feelings/philosophies/whatever.

Don't dodge the question. Simply explain to me how you expect to profit calling raises with SC when favorable pot odds aren't there? You need big pot odds to make this a good play. There has to to be a raiser and a few callers.

How do you expect to profit flat calling raises with SC when 1 person raises and you are the only caller. Or even if theres 1 extra caller.

I don't understand this post, why can't you be getting significant implied odds versus only one player? If you're both $250 deep in 1/2 NL and you have 9h8h, calling $10 pre can't be profitable?

A few regs have adjusted and they are not exactly my favorite opponents, I prefer the nits. If they adjusted, I would have to stop 3-betting light, wouldn't I? Or at least start 5-bet shoving very light.
because if they adjust, they're calling 3-bets lighter, and you can thus 3-bet wider for value.
