GL winning money with that strategy OP. By the way its actually one of the biggest lols in this thread that you obviously dont understand the huge difference between the online games where this adjustment is recommended (often MTTS with shorter stacks and facing very wide openranges from late positions to steal blinds) and fullring live games full of bad calling stations playing 60-70 percent of the hands they get dealt.
1) I'm talking about open completing. I'm much less likely to trap in the SB with a monster hand if there are already a few limpers before me.
2) No, this doesn't only apply to short stacked MTTs: it applies to 100bb cash games too. Watch some 200nl online. You'll see the winning regs complete from the SB a lot in unopened pots.
3) High rake has the same effect on our decision-making process that ICM does. We can pass up on some coin flips and marginal spots, but our overall strategy isn't going to change. I consider completing from the SB as part of my overall strategy now.
