Re: Quick Question about cold-calling
I cold call significantly more often than this.
But I play primarily live games where there are lots of people to the flop.
If there is a raiser and one caller, I cold call with any pocket pair (reraising the big ones, of course) In the loose games I play in live, once there is a raiser, one caller, and me calling, I can pretty much expect both blinds and probably even another LP cold caller. This is more than enough to flop a set with.
With a raiser and two or more cold callers, I open it up quite a bit, and cold call with any big to medium suited connectors as well. Basically 87s and above. But that's because I know my game conditions and playing tendencies of my opponents, and know that I can outplay them postflop with these types of hands.
(But live play is a different beast than online! There's nothing quite like the rush of hearing a dealer say "9 players in"! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )
