I was wondering what your thoughts are about playing out the small blind? More importantly, is it ever appropriate to play rag hands when there are lots of callers ahead of me with no raises. Excellent pot odds, but position sucks. What about if there are only 2 callers? I think this is a leak in my game, and I haven't found a book out there that addresses this issue. Is it ever appropriate to raise out of the small blind with good (not great hands such as KQs). I am thinking that positon matters most, especially in NL hold'em, and that I should only be playing good hands here in the first place. Is it a leak in my game by always calling the small blind because it is cheap to get in?

Thanks!
