small blind

[step1]

probably an obvious answer but is it always correct to not fold from small blind pre flop when everyone has folded to you?

Re: small blind Certainly you should play a wider set of starting hands in that position but there are numerous circumstances when I would fold in that situation e.g. if the BB has been playing agressively and is the chip leader, and my cards are pretty poor. In that situation you should look to play the person more than play your cards. If you think you have a read on that player then you'll know how to play the hand.
