They eithererve tight or tight pre-flop, but when they loose, they loose, stay loose, or get impatient. A lot of players will call on the big blind, unless they have a good hand.

Do you want your opponent to have two pair or a better hand?

Is your hand vulnerable?

What are your chances of winning the pot?

You might bet or call with the first hand, in case you have the best hand (the nuts). For example: You have 83 and the flop is Q 10 3. You bet and your opponent bets. Do you call or fold? You are drawing dead. Your odds of winning are about 8%. If you are playing against the best hand, you can call or maybe even go all in.

In case you don’t have the best hand, you should either fold or proceed cautiously. You can’t bluff if the only thing you have to beat is a high card, so if the pot is small you shall call. Let’s say there is $10,000 in the pot. If you have the best hand, you can afford to call or possibly go all in, because you are the only one in the pot. The odds are about 5%. It’s a good call, because your opponent may fold or your hand may be the best. If you are called, the $10,000 goes into the prize pool. What a great opportunity to steal a pot!
