The problem with everyone elses anaylisis thus far is that no one really is making warrants to their claims. Like goofball saying he 'doesn't like cold calling much at all' if your going to propose a different way of playing the hand providing some reasonable idea of why you make that play would help please....

Coldcalling isn't good because we don't have an equity edge, we're behind Q2o here, and we're going to have to just fold a lot of flops. If we coldcall it will be difficult to play the hand profitably, folding is better than coldcalling and against a competent player I would fold. Against the wrong kind of fish I would fold as well.
3betting against a specific player is good. It gives us position AND momentum, likely drives everyone else out of the pot, and frequently puts our opponent in a tough spot, out of position with a marginal hand and no momentum. 3betting allows us to win unimproved a lot, and that makes the difference for thsi hand.
