For what other purpose are you cold calling with a small/medium pair?

[/ QUOTE ]

Depends on villain.

There's more than one reason to want to play a hand in a raised pot.

How are you playing on the flop if you don't make a set?

[/ QUOTE ]

Depends on villain and texture.

Sometimes calling. Sometimes betting. Sometimes raising. Sometimes folding.

[ QUOTE ]

I'm sure a certain % of the time you are going to fold to a continuation bet, especially if the flop texture isn't favorable.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes.

[ QUOTE ]

Sometimes you might float to see what villian does on the turn, BUT a lot of times players will check their big pairs on the turn.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes.

[ QUOTE ]

So cold-calling with the intention of calling the flop isn't exactly strong poker if you know what I mean.

If that's all you're ever intending on doing, then yes, I agree.
