Default Re: Adjusting to Perennial Cold-Callers

Bringing it back to the cold-calling topic, suppose UTG raises and gets three cold callers. You're on the button holding 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Do you call here? Really?

That's table dependent. usually fold, but when you are more likely to see the turn for free, and to get action when you hit your set, call more. 22 kinda sucks because it doesn't do well in making straights or winning UI. But pocket fives+, ah, how can you resist?

An awesome situation is when you have a loose table and you're to the right of a LAG. Limp in with 88-44 and checkraise the field if you flop your set. Otherwise, if you miss but you sense weakness all around you can bet into the LAG and let him raise to protect your hand for you.
