playing out of the blinds..?

just been grinding 25nl today, and something i noticed a lot of players doing (and regs) is calling raises out of the blinds with marginal hands. seems like a leak to me.

my personal rule is: if you cant 3/4bet it, you can't play it in the blinds.

are there any spots/scenarios in which you can flat call a raise? dependent of hands and people in etc..

With decent hands against barreling monkeys.

Yeah or if mw with implied odds I guess, but as usual it depends on so many things.

Here's an excellent podcast thing by Improva (and his awesome accent) about playing from the blinds. It's rather good.

Usually you have horrible implied odds from the blinds.

I don't understand what you mean, could you expand on this point please?

Typically, you're going to be against a late position steal. And you're going to be out of position. Not a great recipe for getting max value when you hit an unlikely hand.

Oh yeah, I totally agree with that, I was talking specifically about multiway.
