    Default Cold Calling = Loser

    This is really a "duh!" but, still surprised me.

    Playing with my Pokerstars stats last night, I was profitable from every position but the 3 before the blind. I thought that this was kind of nuts, then I looked and my losses directly correlated to my CC figures.

    I am obviously playing too loosely against raises from these positions figuring that.

    1. There are a few people in the pot so I will get good odds.

    2. My late position will allow me to out play them.

    Tonight I will look at some specific hands, and maybe post some of my worst offenders.

    Be interesting to see how many BB/100 I could add back.... Probably no more than 1 or 2.

    Eh you didn't say an exact percentage, but you should not be CC raises too often at all. They say it is bad to do, and many 2+2ers think that coldcalling raises is the worst thing in the world that you can be doing.

    I generally only CC after 2 or more CC'ers with AJs TT 99 88 77. I will 3bet TT if there are less than 2 other people in the pot.

    Do you play limit? I that case I would say you play too loose late. But no-limit, I think you can, *viva implied odd*.

    Is there such thing as cold-calling in no limit?

    Yeah, a cold call is any call to a reraise whatever the size.... The prblem with CC in NL is that is sets off lotsa warnig bells, as in "What the hell doe she have to call that reraise cold???" Either hes a nut or hes got the nuts. Either way watch out.
    Marm is back, maybe. Been off for 3 years. Rusty as Hell.

    it is usually called "flat call" or "smooth call" in limit.

    My percentages are low, less than 2%, but too high.
