Default Re: Cold Calling

Usually reraise or fold.

The only exception to this might be a PP or a suited connector, but I wouldn't want to go lower than 89 anyway. (I still prefer to 3 bet with hands as weak as 66)

It's not a bad thing to have everyone fold when you 3 bet, especially after some people have already called.

I feel that it is important in games like this to make people realize that when you are in the pot, they will have to pay a lot to see the hand to the end.

This will make them more likely to fold against you, so that when you whiff with AK, you still have some fold equity.

Otherwise you have to play hit to win.

What you describe is one of the best game conditions available.

BTW, just because it's raise or fold (basically) does not mean you shouldn't be in a lot of hands. You should still be around 30% vpip, but just ramp up the aggression. Many of the pots will be large and you want to win them right away.

I have been playing a lot of shot handed lately, so some of this may be too aggressive for a full game, ESPECIALLY VPIP. Sorry, but I don't have time to rewrite this right now.
