Raiser is new to the table and the other player is pretty weak playing a normal range of hands

What is your preflop action?

[***]

1) please use a converter
2) micro stakes downstairs
3) I like to squeeze here (make it about $4 to go), but a cold call isn't terrible. Villain's opening range is wider in the CO and he's less likely to bluff a multiway pot. Still, your hand can be dominated so I think it's best to take control preflop.

This helps achieve a few things:
- More likely to play headsup
- When everyone misses you are most likely to win the pot
- You can be flipping against a pocket pair and they never believe your first continuation bet
- You can suck out against a better and get them to pay you off, while knowing that your hand has some weakness so that you won't pay off AK or an overpair for too much.

Call.

ditto the star-man. very good analysis. One note, vs. awful players i am more likely to cold call bc implied odds are high. vs. good solid players I am more likely to either fold oop or try to take control with a squeeze raise.
