Default Cold Calling Makes Me Gag. Seriously.

PP NL 100

Gack. Villain 1, the CO, is 22/2 in 100 hands. He is TAG, but hasn't played any big pots of note. Villain 2, the Button, is a complete unknown; he has played one of his first ten hands.

Hero has $99, CO and Button cover.

Pre-flop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Folds to CO, CO calls $1, Button calls $1, Hero raises to $6, BB folds, CO and Button call.

Flop: ($19) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Hero bets $15, CO calls, Button calls.
Hero is furious that these TAG-a-Donks both cold-called! Hero feels like lighting himself on fire. Hero notes that he respects CO enough to think CO would not call with a flush draw alone.

Turn: ($64) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Any significant bet traps us into a call for our whole stack. And checking sucks. Line...?
