As a REAL general rule of thumb. IF you are going to cold call a raise your cards have to be BETTER then what you would need to raise the hand.
I won't call a riase with anything unsuited unless I have AK
Suited I'll go down to AQ but it's pretty table independent.
Take your minumin raising hand and make it 2 hands better and there ya go!
