Default Re: 88 3-bets a steal from the CO. SB cold call.

Well, in a weak-tight moment I folded. There's seems to be reasonable voices for both a call or a raise.

Calling doesn't seem too bad an option - though it opens myself up to reverse implied odds. And unless the CO is likely to make a move on the turn with a worse hand, I can fold to further action on the turn. This seems to win me the most when I'm ahead and lose the least when I'm behind.

Raising doesn't really get me much more imo other than I can fold to a 3-bet or futher action on later streets for about the same price as calling down to a showdown. And a cheap showdown isn't really what I'm looking for is it? If my opponents have overs and/or a pair worse than mine, checking the turn is costly.
