I'm just not accustomed to it. The habit of 6max game starter as a prop on Cereus never involved games where it seemed optimal to cold call rather than 3 bet preflop on BTN.
Even in 9max max games or full 6 max games, situation where cold calling on button was right rarely occurred since I played almost any random HUHU even if I had 3-4 other games running.
With that said, the live 20/40 half kill games I play in around Hammond Horseshoe is so soft so could see merit to cold calling being right.
I'm too stingy to buy a solver since I haven't had enough time to play real live poker at all for a good year other than drunk 3 handed games with friends for essentially monopoly money.
To answer your inquiry, my biased TAG fish play style when playing best would be on BTN with K8 suited (based on descriptions of villains and blinds) would be:
Fold > Raise > Call
In reality, I think it's at least burning a solid sklansky dollar by not entering the pot with multiple villains described as LAP fish or TAP fish.
In which case, I prefer to 3 bet raise over Cold Calling to at least attempt to price out SB and BB. 3 betting also gives more opportunities for bluffing postflop or taking free cards.
