does anyone else call this? or am i throwing money away?
i just saw the 6.2/1 odds i was getting and couldn't resist.

:Shrug: Probably not. You're going to have to hit for sure to win a multiway pot with 82o, and even if you do hit, it's not for certain. Pot odds are nice, but you're just donating your chips, IMO.

Easy call.

#1 You are trying to eliminate players, this is not a cash game
#2 They are getting desperate
#3 They probably are sharing cards
#4 You have live cards, I would say that that is an easy call

And, yes, I make that kind of call as well and get a lot of "donkey" kinds of remarks, but when you are a big stack and the little stacks start pushing, you gotta play the 40-60 / 70-30 hands to eliminate them.

100% call

no matter what the cards

yeah thats a call
