Default Re: why do I keep calling

Because you're a fish?

Limit or NL, multiway or headsup, flop turn or river, big pots, small pots, all pots, do you have any sort of hand, what is the board like?

These all make a lot of difference.

For example, calling headsup on the river in a big Limit holdem pot with second pair is at worst a slight mistake, and only has to be right 1 time in [pot size] to be breakeven.

Calling a massive raise into a small pot in an NL game on a straight flush overcards board (say you told 98 of one suit and flop is AKQ of another) is a fairly massive mistake.
