Default Re: You raise for the first time in an hour? I cold call!

A marginal situation for sure. Swinging it to a call for me was the awful-ness and calling tendencies of the limpers. I actually got less action than expected on the actual hand. And. yes, some of that is certainly relative position-related.

I hate folding in this spot. Just because he plays tight, does not mean that he doesnt loosen his raising standards in late position. Many players consider me a very tight player, however I will raise from the cutoff in the described situation with 910 suited J10 suited and pocket pairs down to 44. I think you can find a call, or a fold. Hearts call clubs fold spades call diamonds fold.

Three betting makes no sense.

Default Tight players....can loosen up

I think a lot of you guys need to redefine tight player. Tight players don't always need big hands to raise from the cutoff after 3 limpers. I played with poster Fred G Sanford one night at the Borgata and he raised with 22-44 in this spot. As a side note he hit a set each time and punished the limpers [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Sometimes the tight player will "beat" you to the pot with a hand like KJ s000ted or J9 s000ted. Some tight players will raise with these hands. Sometimes the tight player has position on you by acting first. When Fred G Sanford and I play together we try to switch up position. Sometimes he will sit on my right and have position on me, and sometimes he will to to my left and I have position on him.

Just something to ponder when evaluating players.
