Re: Cold calling

[ QUOTE ]
A friend of mine said that he very seldom calls a CO raise on the button (fold or 3-bet) because its a very exploitable for the blinds. Any thoughts about that?
I call in this spot all the time which might be stupid.

i definitely agree with this. it's also just really tough for the cutoff to want to take a flop with you, OOP vs a strong opponent, and sure he can know that you might be threebetting light because of your relative positions but he also knows that you know he knows this so it takes a lot of stones for him to bluff fourbet you either. in general raising CO opens from the button is a strong play with a wide range of hands, whereas calling just gives any decent reg in the blinds a chance to squeeze with top 20-30%ish of hands

if they are really squeezing with top 30% of hands then you have a very easy time calling or shoving over their squeeze. Depending on CO-s action.
also it starts to make a lot of sense to slowplay big pairs TT+ if they are doing this.
