Ranges are super-wide, and the BB does a lot of calling pre (unlike, say, the HJ or BTN) because he can close the action. It's hard for the SB to have a clear range advantage, and indeed the BB will often have an overall equity edge AND the positional advantage. This usually leads to the SB checking the flop a lot or betting small. As with other SRPs, it's usually Axx/Kxx boards that are best for the PFR, since the caller in the BB would often 3-bet his best Broadways and the big pairs of course. Boards where the highest card on the flop is 9 or lower tend to be particularly bad for the SB, as the BB's range will often have over 50% equity, and he'll float or raise the SB's c-bets at a high frequency.
An example from Snowie:
SB raises 3bb, BB calls, flop comes 744tt. BB's range has 52.5% equity, SB bets half pot, but only 9% of the time. (He can't rep many strong hands on 744tt). Even with this presumably narrow/strong range that SB c-bets, the BB only folds 30% of the time, and raises 36% of his range!
EDIT: On a 522r, Snowie has the BB only folding 6% (vs a quarter pot c-bet), and raises a whopping 49%.
