Whatever
What should we be calling with here? Everything except hands like Q2o?

This situation came up a ton at .5/1 and I think it will come up plenty at 1/2 as well.

I'm just replying because your post count is 1337. That is all.

10 to 1 opens up your range significantly.

getting ten to 1 my range is much wider than that.

If the whole table is in the hand, and I am closing the preflop action, then I am joining the fun with any two.

Given our incredible odds, this can not be considered terribly wrong with even the junkiest of hands.
But the risk comes with how we play our junk on the flop if we catch a piece.
Recognize that unless we hit the flop hard (2Pair or better), our hand is not profitable out of position against a big field.

As long as we play extremely carefully, fold most flops, and capitalize on the rare times we hit big, calling with any two should be the way to go when getting 10-1.

CM is correct imo. If we have a post-flop edge, folding anything is probably a mistake.

Well, for mortals, I don't think there's much wrong with folding 93 and J2 offsuit, but pretty much everything else is a go.

At 10-1 I cant think of a hand I would fold closing the action.
