Calling vs Cbets

Question 1

What situations would we usually play call only ?

Answer 1

1. IP in a 3bet pot
2. IP as a cold caller
3. Multi way ( when we have strong value and implied odds)

Question 2

An example of calling in a 3bet pot

Answer 2

we open BTN with 66 get 3bet from BB we call flop comes 862dd, our hand doesn’t want to raise due to the flop texture, ie we want to keep in villains bluffs and semi bluffs

Question 3

Another example in a limped pot

Answer 3

we come along on BTN with T9ss vs a bad reg open, there was a loose rec in BB so we have further incentive to call to let them enter the pot as well, flop comes J73 1 spade, there is no need to raise vs a cbet here we have good equity so we can control the size of the pot and can bluff on later streets if the situation warrants it

Question 4

Having position means?

Answer 4

High realization of equity and future fold equity

Question 5

Multiway example

Answer 5

unknown on BTN opens to 3bb aggro rec in SB calls we call. Flop comes K93hh. If we flop a set then we want to let the BTN in as well to inflate the pot . If we have something like JThh all we are doing is keeping in hands which we can get there against and win a bigger pot.
