Re: calling raises from big blind
[ QUOTE ]
Question: Is should you regard big blind as bet and call all single bet raises?
[/ QUOTE ]
Well, there's lots of variables. What position is the raiser in, what are his standards, are there cold callers, are there limpers in before the raise, etc.
Your hand strength is also part of the equation here. A beginner may be correct to never call a raise from the blind w/o a hand that he would typically play in mid position or later. However, if you play well post flop and OOP, you could open up your hand selection, especially in pots that will end up being several players to the flop.
