Never coldcall rule (theorish)

Barry...I agree that we need to keep the flexibilty of a cold call in our arsenal...to your KK example...I really don't cold call KK OOP even vs an aggressive player...too hard to play it well post and too many boards will scare the oiriginal raiser IMO...is this a leak in my game? I will coldcall with AA but rarely with KK and QQ

Against a player who I know who is going to cont. bet, even when he only has 17BB's left after the hand (he may push) OR one who is strong preflop but gets spewy on flops, I like to flat call with KK in some spots. Against good TAGs, I almost always RR and against unknowns, the same.

Anyway, one thing that comes from this post is that flat calling is usually not great (I agree), but that very specific attention to detail, especially in LP situations, is key.
