    I've mostly been playing my 'complete the small blind in a multi-way limped pot' range which is already pretty wide at 35%. I feel kinda stupid though folding anything besides offsuit big/little hands to a preflop min-raise.

    I think 35% is probably about right, I think I'm a bit tighter than that. It shouldn't really matter how stupid folding stuff feels unless you are confident that calling is no more -EV than 1bb each time you play it.

    I'm flatting a lot more in the BB than I ever was before, and probably some of the hands I'm doing it with are currently losing me money (although it would take so long to get a significant sample I might never know), but I figure you don't improve unless you try to sometimes put yourself in marginal spots.
