I would usually call here, sometimes the donkbet is a good hand like AK/AQ/AJ/AT, but completely unconnected with the flop. If he has 2 pair you have hidden outs. And like Jeff says, could be...

Re: Playing Poker on a 30\" Monitor
What's going to be the deal with playing games on this monitor? Is there any potential problems, or will they just play out of the box, either with blacked out edges, or a wider panorama?

1) The second equation should read:
(0.458597)*1*0.95 + ((0.446247)*(-1 + 0.1)) + 0.095156(0) = 0.03404485
E.g. Average $3.50 on a single $100 bet.

As you play a large number of games your losses will approach the expectation from the house edge and the two become...
