Love this. I try to really limit cold-calling, but full table live limit games can really test your patience and discipline. Also when you might have 2-3 behind you calling 2 pre with basically trash, you really feel the gravity of the pot calling you to just throw it in "this one time". Let's say I realize #2, but am not always making the best choice at times.
if several people behind are cold calling with trash you can cold call with certain hands like QJs or 55. yes your range might be face up but nobody is paying attention.
what you dont want is to cold call with aggressive players behind who will 3 and 4 bet making you stuck in the middle postflop and pay too much preflop, or to be the only one cold calling in a tight game. also in a game with some good players (not common at small stakes) cold calling is asking for trouble too.
so in a game with 9 passive donks, if UTG raises i think cold calling with some hands UTG+1 is ok.
