What should I do if I'm facing a raise from the small blind?

[Mike_25]

If you are facing a raise from the small blind, you need to think carefully before calling or re-raising. Look at your cards closely, see if you have good chances versus their potential range of hands. Re-raising can be tricky since they already put money in the pot. Calling could also be risky depending on the amount of the raise. You probably shouldn't fold right away though unless you have a very weak hand. There are no easy answers, every situation is different, you need to evaluate the player, the action so far and decide your best move.

I think Evaluate the strength of your hand: Before making any decisions, you should consider the strength of your hand. If you have a strong hand, such as pocket aces, you may want to play aggressively and re-raise your opponent. If your hand is weaker, it may be better to fold
