any clue on how to play the kill button in a 15-30 loose-passive game? 'course play any two in an unraised pot, but is it "defended" as a BB?

A good source for info on this is in Skansky's Advanced Holdem Text. Basically, under normal conditions it states to defend it like a big blind, but slant the defense with respect to position and to value more cards that can win unimproved in a showdown e.g. A 10, or K J. With the loose passive scenario in mind, generally more defenses can be made, the book contends. I personally agree with this, and when I'm faced with this, I pay special attention to my opponents because i believe that aggressive opponents try to steal more often here as well as the timid ones tend to fold more with their medium starting hands. These are just my contentions and I would like to hear any else's opinion.
P.S. You found a loose-passive 15-30?? Sweet!! Where??
