All Cold Calls [CC] are Call PreFlop Praise [CPFR], but not all CPFR are CC.

A cold call is when you call one (or more) raises when you have no money in the pot.

So you are on the button, the guy under the gun raises, if you just call, it's a cold call.

If you were under the guy, and you raised, and the button reraised and you just called, you did call a pre-flop raise (his 3-bet counts as a raise) but you did not call cold (because you had already put money in).

And if I'm either a blind and call a pre-flop raise, what is it?

[kraada]

Well, it's certainly a Call PFR.

I'm not sure if it's a Cold Call. Since you have some money in the pot though (even though it's blind), I'd imagine not, but I'm not 100% sure. You could go into PokerTracker though and filter for times you were a blind and called a raise preflop and see what it ends up being . . .

I agree - it doesn't count as a Cold Call if you are in the blind, because you already have money in the pot.
This was debated a while ago, and it was decided to stick with the strict definition for the default stat. If you want a variant on cold call where you haven't voluntarily put money in before calling a raise, you can build a Custom Statistic.

Build a Custom Statistic?

How to?

And I think the definition of Call PFR is missing here: http://www.pokertracker.com/products/PA ... page=stats

Thanks!!!
