Re: Cold call a raise question
[ QUOTE ]
so cold calling a raise, i should only re-raise with AA-TT,AKs-AJs, KQs, AK and fold everything else in any position.
because in Getting Started in Hold'em book by Mason it says to do that if there a raise in front? is that the same thing as cold calling a Raise?

cold-calling and re-raising are NOT the same thing. for beginners, you should probably not play ANY raised hands preflop with anything except AA, KK, QQ, AKs and AKo (with even QQ and AKo borderline). anything lower than that, you will probably not play well enough postflop to make them +EV.
when in doubt, tend to lean towards playing tighter rather than looser. betting too many weaker hands is the primary bankroll eater of new poker players.
