i haven't read many of the answers in this thread, but this is one of those where i'm generally going to complete because it's good for the game. throwing away a hand from teh SB after a number of limpers is one of the rare things that makes it obvious that you're playing 'very tight' (which generally we're not going to want to be painted as) if you do it, like, twice. so yeah, i'm tossing 82o, but Q7o? meh, i'll toss in the three bucks and play the hand.

i know it seems asinine but i think it has long term benefits that aren't easily calculated.

i should point out: if you're unable to fold flopped pairs (sometimes you even have to fold flopped top pair) even without that much flop betting action, you're better off just saving the three bucks preflop so you don't then spend 20 more post.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a post here where hero changed his strategy based on the fact that Villain had previously folded his small blind. Given your post does that mean that the only people posting here are less than the least observant?

I'm curious what are some huge laydowns you've made using the knowledge that someone folded their small blind.

Or on the other hand what are some huge bluffs you've successfully made because someone saw you fold your small blind.
