Default Re: what cards will you play if you limp and get raise and reraise?

If you limp in with a hand, and a raise occurs after you limp, yes you can call the additional bet.
(Pg. 86, the first paragraph, SSH E.Miller)

For example.

Your in mid position, and limp after two other limpers with 98s, another person limps in, and the CO raises, the button cold calls, SB and BB call, and the first limper as well calls. You should also call the second bet, where as you would obviously never cold call with 98s.

As for your first 2 questions, very few hands, and very few hands.

Go to page 84 in SSH, the second section that starts "You should cold-call a raise only rarely..."

Even if you have limped in with 1 SB, if it is raised and re-raised after you, it is still considered cold calling, especially if it is capped.

For example if you limp in with KJo in early position, and it is raised, re-raised, and capped behind you, fold. The threat of domination is far too great for your marginal offsuit holding. dont even think twice.

(have you tried the pre-flop hand quizzes in the back yet? If you did how many did you answer inccorectly?)

Goodluck Joe!!
