Default Re: Will he ever fold getting 114/1?

If you're going to call, you might as well raise, even if only to reopen action and potentially have him misclick one in 114 times. You lose 50 cents in value the majority of the time, get value on the very rare occasion, and once in a blue moon you're getting misclick value (tm) or having him make a 'brilliant laydown' with an overpair but no club. Again, rare - but it doesnt even need to work 1 in 114 times (marginally less) when you consider that you occasionally get value from worse hands plus misclicks.

You're getting paid significantly less than 114 to 1 on your call, however. Unless he's some erratic retard (and you have reason to believe he is), just fold the river and rebuy. Betting that river isn't tricky with a high card, it's stupid. What does he call the turn and bet the river with that doesnt have you beat? Pulling this move with a high card against a guy who's nearly all in (where people generally call more liberally in dire situations) is just stupid. So yeah, if you think he's stupid and erratic, go ahead and raise for 1/12th of a big bet (better than calling for reasons mentioned earlier).
