In tournament, mid-blinds, everyone folds to button. BB is passive.
Button limps, what do you do?
Assuming BB doesn't raise, you will be getting 5-1 odds for calling.
Shouldn't you call with any two?

I have a question to add to this, does it madder what are the pot odds pre flop and how to determine your poker odds/outs pre flop to make a justify call there?

It is very good you punish limpers, in case you lose 2 bb it is not much, more they will see that you are not messing around!

If the button limps then yes you can limp with a half decent hand. However if the button folds as well then do NOT play the small bind with anything other than a premium hand because the BB will have position on you and will certainly try to outplay you. If the button or someone else is also in the hand then the BB cant play like that since he doesnt have position on everyone.

Atleast this is what I have experienced. If everyone folds and I limp in with the SB, the BB is going to raise pre-flop alot of times and then you dont know what to do if its a 2x raise.

not call with any two, but a small pairs, speculative hands i believe its not a problem to do. You not have a position but u can make many moves if hit or not flop.
