Ok reasons to why i post this, simple. I found a tight table on NL4 (there was a fish here previous, not sure where he went was multitabling) and its folded to me in the small blind. Now as a tourny player my natural instinct said raise, which im not sure is +EV in cash at these levels. So what would you do in this spot.

LORDISH Fold     
FANASHED Fold     
blondynka7 Fold

Now i'm usuing this hand as a pure example. Other examples and discussions would be welcomed as i think this is an area i'll need to understand to survive in the land of cash poker.

    Personally at this level, just get rid of it.

    At this level, people stack off so lightly with things like top pair average kicker, sometimes even 2nd pair. Just play big starting hards and bet every street for value when you hit the flop.

    Snap fold for me, if there were multiple limpers I might limp along and see a flop cheaply but not against one villain.

    4 high does not feature anywhere in our game plan to beat this level!

    Itching to play in spots like this means you're playing too many hands, which is probably one of the main reasons you haven't beaten this level yet.

    Open more tables up and you wont even think twice b4 folding.

    Fold.

    In general I wouldnt worry about stealing from sb, unless you have very solid reads, as postflop will usually suck oop with rubbish and people dont fold bvb

    The blinds do not have as much value in them to steal, unlike deep into a MTT.
    Just fold
    Multi way your flush can be easily beaten so I don't like that either )
    It's a big pr cracker - but thats about it

    If it were folded round to me in the small at this level, I probably never call, and only open with what I would open the button with.  And even that might be a bit loose.
