Cold-Call a 3-bet Pre-flop?

[andyfox]

You guys ever cold-call a 3-bet pre-flop? I can remember doing it only once (with J-J). While I know we don't like "always" and "never" here, would it be a good rule to never cold-call 3 pre-flop?

The spots where I would consider cold-calling a 3 bet always involve maniacs. If someone who raises 95% of the hands 3 bets another loose cannon I might cold call 3 with AQs. Against predictable/tight opponents I can see cold-calling 3 perhaps with AKs. I defintely think there are spots for it. Whenever I see a player who isn't a complete moron cold call 3, it is usually AK or JJ.

I can recall situations where I called 3-bets pre flop with a hand as weak as QJs. I can probably recall more where I folded JJ to a 3-bet, though.

I NEVER cold-call pre-flop, whether it's 2, 3, or 4 bets. I either raise or fold 100% of the time.

That can't be 100% the right.

I remember recently doing it with AKs agianst bad players... but I vow today never to do it again. I'm raising or folding. Won't you join me.

I'm pretty close to that myself.

How can you never cold call preflop? Let's say you are in a good game, somebody raises, 3 bad players cold call, and you have pocket 7s. You think the options here are raise or fold?
