Playing hands out of the small blind can sometimes be tricky. You can often find yourself involved in a pot with a marginal hand that has hit the flop, but isn’t so strong a hand that you feel comfortable playing out of position. However, when you do play these sub-par hands, because you’re priced into a blind, you can sometimes find a flop and crack a big hand. Advantages
