Default Re: Calling a raise in the BB?

If you were playing showdown, with no more bets, you could call with a wide range. Since you are playing poker, you are not buying the right to see a showdown. You are buying the right to face more bets, and that hurts you, particularly since you are out of position.

The actual ranges to call depend on the position of the raiser and the caller, but you should routinely fold hands as good as Q9o. When the raiser is in earlier position, this represents more strength, which means it is less likely that you will get a free card, and less likely that you will win with one pair. That may make it right to fold ATo.
