what odds do you need to call t40 on a 1700 pot....

[hyde]

I guess it was a stone cold bluff, but you can imagine my surprise.
I would have called 40 hoping it was a misclick.

[Myst]

The information alone is worth t40 chips.

Your opponent is a moron.

[pokerlaw]

He prob just didnt want to show the crap that he bet with.

NOT to say that it was a good move.

I can beat that.. from memory:
blinds 25/50
Hero (MP): 1700 chips or so
villan (UTG): 700

villan limps, hero raises to 150 pfr, folded to villan who calls.

flop: Qs 7s 3h
we both check
turn: 4s
villan bets 125, hero raises to 500 (thought he sensed weakness and was trying to steal from me - i had a lot of chips and wasnt going to be bullied)
villan calls and has 50 chips remaining
river: 9s
villan checks, hero bets 50, villan folds - hits BB very next hand and busts out

I dont even know why i bet the 50 on the river, and i cant imagine he coulda called my raise with anything i had beat.
