What is a good pre-flop raise percentage?

To give you a rough idea, you ideally want to be raising at least 70\% of the time you enter a pot. So if you have a VPIP of 20\%, you wouldn’t want to have a PFR of less than 14\%. If your PFR is less than 70\% of your VPIP, you’re likely calling in spots where you should be raising.

When should you raise before the flop?

What is a good Wwsf?

It is generally considered that WWSF should be around 50\%. Depending on play style many players have a WWSF a few percent high or lower than this.

What is a cold 4-bet?

A 4-bet refers to the 4th pre-flop bet. The blinds are the first bet, the open raise is the 2nd bet, and the first re-raise is a 3-bet. That means that the 4-bet is the 2nd re-raise. Putting it all together, a cold 4-bet is a big re-re-raise as our first action in the hand.

A similar argument can be made for a hand like 98s, where it’s very unlikely that you have the best hand preflop (or even positive equity) but it’s very likely that you can get paid off bigtime if you can sneak a peak at the flop cheaply and hit it hard.
