Default Re: Harrah\'s East Chicago Trip Report

About the calling down being weak. Some of the guys like Clarkmeister and El Diablo (one of them said this exactly but I can't remember which) have described calling down tricky players as the preferred strategy. I wouldn't consider myself a particularly "tricky" player, but I had made a couple plays that are very noticeable at a Harrah's 10-20 game (e.g., limp-reraise), so I think I appeared that way. Caro describes this as well: at a table with one or two players of this type, you may be better off calling down those players; it nullifies their deception when they're weak, and you can avoid trouble when they have a big hand. If more people than me were that aggressive, it might not make sense, but I recognized they made an adjustment against me, so I deduced that was the reason.
