raising from the blinds? the importance of postion

[moneytoburn 0]

ChamonyX posting a link a while ago to a smash post where he said that you should never raise out of the Blinds unless you have enough equity to commit yourself to the pot. I have been thinking about this and have watched my own play in Binds and some of the better players to whom I respect. I notice that when they do raise out of blinds it is typically in a multi way pot and their raise is much more for value often making it just $6 in 1/2 game or $12 2/4 when they could have simply potted it. Anyways, as for this hand. It is an example of what happens when raising out of SB is very wrong. For my play, I will often open raise the pot preflop about 50%-75%%. This is fairly standardThoughts?
