No calling preflop strategy?

Hiya,

I'm dabbling with the following general preflop strategy. Wonder what this forum has to say about the merits/drawbacks of it!

Basic idea - often take the lead or be out. Only play marginal hands in position.

1.
Never open-limp. Always come in for a raise.
(perhaps you all do this?)

2.
"Never" cold call a raise as first caller. Either Reraise OR fold. Exception - weakling with big stack raised, then a call with a marginal hand may be OK.

3.
Only limp in with selected hands (low pairs; Axs; sooted connectors) when in LP and there are 2+ limpers in before you; possibly also in MP when table is passive behind you.

Blinds - conservative and tight.

Please comment on the merits and drawbacks of this approach!

Thanx,

Hard fast rule that I follow:

Have no hard fast rule.

Aside from that your strat does not allow limping/calling raises with PPs looking for the set, which is meh.

That sounds a lot like what works in limit. Mainly because "cold calling" is more of a limit term than a NL term

raise or fold is a good idea, but that is limit strategy

it gets mighty expensive in NL to reraise hands that aren't worth a reraise in the first place... if you think you're AJs is no good, fold it.

there are only three legit preflop reraising hands in NL...QQ-AA...maybe JJ or AKs.

and you should tremble in your boots when you are reraised; get your pocket 99/KQ and AJ the hell out of there.
