An Incredibly Mundane Question About Cold-Calling

[MaxPower]

I think this is a bad cold-call. You need to be very sure that you will get a multi-way pot. If you are wrong too often, it will cost you.

I'm not tight-passive, but I don't often see the fields I like when coldcalling with QJs. Danger of being dominated from a standard TAG is pretty high, and I don't often see a situation where I coldcall with it and the field is going to make my draws profitable.

[Piiop]

Yeah, I don't really like this one.

You're almost definitely crushed by UTG+1 and you'll have poor relative position for the rest of the hand. You can't count on lots of other people coming in. I don't think being able to play your draw aggressively is that big a deal unless UTG+1 will actually fold hands that beat you instead of just calling down. I'd be way more happy with it if UTG+1 raised, the fish called, then you called.

[Hamlet]

I don't like the call. What are the most likely hands for the weak-tighty to have? AA-TT, AK-AJ, maybe KQ. Most of those dominate you, and having an aggressive third player in the pot only helps a little.

Say the flop comes Jxx or Qxx and the weak-tighty leads. Do you call/raise/fold? Calling sucks, because the aggressive player behind you will raise alot. Raising sucks, because you are now putting in alot of money with a hand that is probably a big dog to the weak-tighty. Folding sucks because you could very well be in the lead.

You just won't flop big enough often enough to make this hand work 3 ways (probably not even 4).

What happened to the theory you about entering a pot with a a raise with a raise or fold. You have no info on whats going on behind you and what first better may do. Its a fold to me and if you are going to play it reraise

I'm with Max. This guy raised UTG+1 and you don't know what's gonna happen preflop behind you, but there aren't many guys acting behind you.

you have an 18% pfr to act behind you? he may be a fish, but don't let him help other people make money off of you. i just really hate cold calling and would muck this fairly frequently. for those who don't like this are the sentiments the same for KQs?

I don't like reraising from this position. Because I really doubt our hand is going to play well HU with the orginal raiser.

I also interpret the Original raisers aggression rating a little differently. I think a 1.4 type, probably is more likely to call down rather than fold. So I don't think we would have a whole lot of fold equity.

Also there is a good chance that the LAG behind us will either call three cold or cap for fun, so we are right back in the same situation.

This is so incredibly mundane, I'm just gonna say what this guy said. He's got a cigar so he probably knows what he's talking about.
