I am sure this is covered somewhere in here but I couldn't find any advice.
Here is my problem.
When I am in big blind and pot has been checked around to me and I have poor cards, obviously it is simple to just check. Let's say I have 7 2 unsuited and the flop is 9 7 4 again unsuited. Now I am a horrible situation, playing cards I did not want to play and just about every time will lose. Is there any reason to raise before the flop just because of position and hopefully reduce the amount of participants?
This is a real thorn in my side, getting good cards in the blinds is a no-brainer but this is something I have not yet worked out.
