Cold Calling

[xpokerx]

In limit poker, cold calling probably causes people to lose more money than any other single mistake. It's not just the 2 SB that you put into the pot when cold calling a raise, its the extra bets on later streets you lose when you hit a very good SECOND best hand.

In my opinon, you should only cold call a raise with a hand you are willing to reraise with. If this is the case, then you should usually be three betting instead of cold calling.
