I pretty much never cold-call here. I almost never three-bet, either, but I like that option better than cold-calling at all but the most calling-stationest of tables.

well, late position i would consider 3betting on occasion. in this spot with so many left to act i think coldcalling is going to fare much better if you can encourage people to call two cold along with you. i felt i was at a table that i could get at least a couple behind me and with the blinds often calling, i called.
for Stu: what i like the least about calling here(besides the guessing game about how many may call behind me)is going to be my position relative to the preflop raiser if i hit my set after the flop. it makes it difficult to maximize value with the betting coming immediately from my right. for me, that was the biggest drawback. but alas, as i am a set miner i did indeed call.
as a tribute to my poor decision-making only one person coldcalled behind me. a 14/6/1.2 on the button. also, unknown bb called as well.

call, and reevaluate.
this sets up a turn play that i have in mind...
also, raising the flop means that we have to dodge the button and BB having an 7, 8, something like JT, etc which will easily call a flop raise. if we want em out, now is not the time.
also, from what i know of online poker, lots of folks play fit or fold...thus, i dont think people with naked overs are going to overcall here.
