The 
  reason why it is so popular is due to the amounts that are won and lost and also due to the emotions involved in playing a game where your opponent 
  could make a raise for all your chips at any time. There is an inherent adrenaline and fear factor in the No Limit version of the game and it 
  is this factor that draws viewers from around the globe. In addition, No Limit Texas Hold 'Em is the variation of poker that is used to decide 
  which player is world champion for a give year. This happens in a yearly tournament known as the World Series of Poker Main Event. Also, the 
  majority of other televised poker tournaments are in the No Limit Texas Hold 'Em format.  
  Walking on Ice  
  No Limit Hold 'Em is a   poker   game of slim margins of error, like walking on ice. Where in Limit Hold 'Em if 
  you make a mistake it can only cost you a few small bets, the same mistake in No Limit can cost you all the chips you have in front of you. 
  It is these small margins that make every decision in No Limit important. Limit Hold 'Em is mainly a mathematical game. You sit and wait for 
  good hands and them play them to the best of your ability. Most Limit Hold 'Em hands reach showdown where two players or more must expose their 
  hands to determine who is the winner. In No Limit, this is quite different. Because a player can make a large bet as a bluff or to protect his 
  hand, most hands end before a showdown is reached. Additionally, making several mistakes over the course of a Limit Hold 'Em session may not 
  make that much of an impact in the bottom line for the session. However, the same mistakes made in bad positions in a No Limit game could mean 
  that a player has no chance of winning for the session.  
  Bluffing and Reading Hands  
  Another major difference between Limit Hold 'Em and the No Limit version of the game is the importance of bluffing. In Limit games, bluffing 
  is not a major factor because you cannot force a player to call a large bet. If you try to bluff, an opponent only needs to call one or two 
  bets to see if he has the best hand. In No Limit, because of the variable bet size, a bluff can be done by making a big bet. Instead of only 
  having to call one or two small bets, the player is now faced with a major decision. Does he risk a large portion of his chips when he holds 
  just a marginal hand? It is these factors that also make the ability of hand reading so important. Being able to isolate the possible hands 
  an opponent may have is the quickest way to figure out when he is bluffing. If you have determined the range of a player's hands and then he 
  makes a large bet that represents a hand that is not within his range, chances are he is bluffing and you have an excellent opportunity to pick 
  up some extra chips.

  You are second short stack at the table and in early/mid position. When you make a raise like thta, you have to know what you are going to do if reraised. If you are calling, why would you worry about the CO?  
  Once you decide you are calling I would want him in there as well for a shot at the triple up. Since you know you probably need to catch a card to win the hand, if you catch, you are likely knocking them bot out.
