Default Re: Fishy play early

I actually like making calls like the post-flop call (and occasionally like the pre-flop call, just to keep people honest), even when the immediate pot odds don't favor it. The reason being that I am likely to collect a big pot when it hits (there's a good example of this from TPFAP with Doyle Brunson and Stu Ungar, I believe, where Ungar calls a bet with a gutshot, hits it and takes Brunson down), and the small bet it costs me to give it a shot doesn't hurt me that much in the long run. When players minibet (or don't at least pot bet), and I have anything going at all, I will usually call, even when fishy.

I'm guessing A8h.
