Re: I don\'t remember the details, but, how much to adjust against idiots?
You might have gotten the hand history for this one. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I think it's mandatory that you call that one bet. You're getting 10:1 or better on your call, and by your estimate, there is an 80% chance that it will only cost you that one bet. So your true odds are probably more like 7:1 or 8:1, but against terrible players, your 87 is going to be good more than 15% of the time or whatever. Who knows, maybe your pair of Sevens is good. If it gets raised and re-raised behind you, you can probably safely fold.
While this is more true in one-way games than this game, the big money is not in laying down mediocre hands for one bet in huge pots. I mean, if there were no way that an 87 were good, that would be one thing, but the low hands apparently weren't there on the river. The chance of them both missing on the river is a lot more than 15%.
