I see tons of posts on this board about what cards to play, what cards to push, when to push any two etc, but there doesn't seem to be much on the required hands to actually call raises at the various levels.
Early on L1&L2 its pretty simple, re-raise if you have premium pairs & AK. If you are getting decent odds with smaller PPs then calling is an option.
L3 and things start to get a little blurier as people start stealing, a similar range to L1&L2 though.
L4 & up is where I seem a bit lost. What is a good range of hands to be calling with to pick off steals?
At the moment I seem to be calling with PPs around 77 & up, ~A9 & up all depending on the situation. Should I be opening up to more hands? Playing a bit tighter?
I know its tough to pigeon hole all this stuff as every situation is different, but I'd welcome some new things to think about.
Thanks.
