Cold calling theory question

by oatmealforxmas » Thu Jan 03, 2008 3:53 pm

So, I am wondering what peoples cold call percentages are, and what is ideal.

I am thinking a lot about what Excession and Twelver talked about in their skypecast regarding 3betting, and how it can reduce the value of position. Especially against weak/tight players, it just seems easy to call in position (if you think its going to be HU), and just try to float/hit a hand/bet a scare card.

But I have been told that cold calling is a bad idea in general. So, what is the right percentage, what kind of opponents are we targeting for cold calling, and does any of this make sense or is it just spew/FPS?

Totally totally totally depends on your opponents...and how you're planning to exploit them.
