Say you are in the SB in a limit poker game with 3 or 4 limpers and no raisers on the table, and on a table with a mixture of tight and loose players.What additional hands do you play preflop in addition to the standard preflop calling hands due to the fact that it doesn't cost as much to call the pot?

Anything that I might limp from the button with - (little pairs, suited connectors, high connectors and 1 gappers, suited aces).
I don't think you loosen up any more than that. Even though it is only half a bet, you are going to be out of position the whole way.

Pokertracker helped me learn one of my biggest leaks was throwing away money from the small blind (calling with garbage hands cuz it was "cheap").
Every 2 bad hands you play from the small blind is like playing a bad hand period.
Rule of thumb, if it's not good enough for a full bet, it's not good enough for a half of a bet.
Bear in mind how bad your position is the rest of the hand even if you make something on the flop.
