Default Re: Call the turn for overcallers or raise immediately

In tougher games (or more aggressive ones) cold-calling raises with small pairs in MP is bad. Doing so in a good 3/6 game is much less bad, but be careful.

Raise the flop, which probably didn't help the preflop raiser. Unless, of course, the PFR is so tight he is a favorite to have an overpair in this spot.

Going for overcalls on the turn looks safe, but don't underestimate your opponents' resolve to call turn raises with holdings that are in very bad shape vs your full house. Besides, by raising you give the original bettor a chance reraise, which is a big mistake unless he flopped quads.
