Re: \"Value Bet\"?
This is not really a nit-pick even if it looks like one.
Lets not confuse "positive EV when called" with "wanting a call": if there are 8 bets in the pot and you figure to be a 2:1 favorite if you bet and get called then your value bet is positive. Never-the-less you prefer NOT to get called since winning 8 bets 100% is better than winning 9 bets 66% of the time.
That's real common: betting for value, even encouraging a call, yet hoping not to get called.
