Re: At what point does it become correct to call with anything?
(Any two random cards) vs. 72o: 72o is a 1.89 to 1 shot.
(A,?) vs. 72o: 72o is a 2.28 to 1 shot.
(A,K)o vs. 72o: 72o is a 2.08 to 1 shot.
So if all you wanted to know was, what the correct odds needed to make a +EV call with the worst hand in the deck against a late postion raiser who would raise with any Ace, you would only need over 2 to 1.
Of course, if you could sneak into the money by not playing then you may want to fold.
I actually had to make this dission a couple weeks ago. I chose not to play and two people survived the binds before it came back to me, then I was forced in and lost. I placed 6th instead of 5th. But the chances that both players would survive and I wouldn't was probably over a 10 to 1 shot. So not playing was a better option, I beleive.
