sacrilege?

No, that would be hitting on my GF. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Calling a raise with KQo is just almost NEVER correct. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

I cold called a raise with KQo today. A very LAG player raised in EP and got three cold calls in front of him; I called with it in the cutoff.

DISCLAIMER #1: Generally you should not do this.
DISCLAIMER #2: If it was correct here, it probably wasn't by much. I'm curious what Mr. Miller would say if he's browsing this.

What types of hands were the other coldcallers likely calling with? That's more of a factor in playing this than the raise by the LAG.

I'd have likely folded.

This table, it's an easy fold.

also factor in position and tendencies of preflop raiser, as calling on the button against a LAG with loose raising standards in the CO is OK

wow, and nothing about the coldcalling standards of the players in between. Isn't that kind of important here?

but you should almost always fold KQo to a legitimate raise pre-flop.

Or to an illigitimate raise with likely a bunch of decent coldcalled hands in front of you. Even loose players can have high coldcalling standards. KQs? yep. KQo? nope.
