Calling 3 bets cold

[Turn Prophet]

I've been seeing more and more of this at the tables, but I don't think I EVER do it; cap or fold for me.

Can anyone describe the type of situation where they might consider calling 3 bets cold preflop? Or do you view it as just pure spew?

good table selection.

and i never do it personally

yes.

JT sooted, no matter what the situation, JTo is the same.

Oh wait... you asked for what a solid player would do?

I'm not sure I've ever called 3 cold.

I see a lot of donks doing it with AA and KK as well, and I always find that weird. I'm sure it's good for deception, but the cap probably has more value than deception at 3/6 and 5/10.

I remember that cold calling 3 with AK was advocated in some situations. The only time I do it myself is when I misclick.

if your read says you should only CC with AKo, because the other players are tight, then you should probably just fold AKo there.

I have never cold called 3 in my life, and I don't think I ever will.

I did this one time with T4s and flopped 2pair woot! Cracked Aces it was great, he never put me on it!

Sometimes JJ,TT in SB against reasonable raisers.
You play the complete hand OOP, dont have a big preflop edge and dont want to have the initiative here.

I'm not sure were i read this concept but it was a standard LHE book.

dont know if it counts as "calling 3 cold", but after raise, coldcall, reraise i would call 2 more in the BB with pocket pairs hoping to win a monster pot when i flop a set.
