Stud8 - Day 2, Hand 9

[Andy B]

BTW, while cold-calling raises is usually wrong in limit hold'em, it is often correct in this game. There really aren't that many hands that I'll play in an unraised pot that I won't play in a raised pot.

I'm surprised to hear this andy... there's a lot of hands that I would play in unraised pots that I would typically fold in raised pots.

Ace low rough kickers (A67, maybe A87)
low connecting pairs (223 to 887)
suited connecting pairs (JJQ to QQK)


Ace low pair (A22 to A77) I'll always [play for the bring in but might fold to a raise.

If you add up all these hands, I think that's more than half my hand range. What do you think Andy... is this too loose in unraised pots or too tight in raised ones?

Can you explain why cold-calling often correct in this game?
