Re: (LC) $109 bubble - why do people call in this situation?
[ QUOTE ]
This isn't even borderline, it's hugely -$EV. If I have any two and he calls this it's -1.2%.
And he made nothing, I pushed the next hand with AJs and bust to his K7o.

You're not always going to get a pushable hand from the button though (given that the 800 chip guy is in the BB next), and if it's folded to the guy that called you that's an instant 750 chips in profit.
I didn't realize AJo was 'hugely' -$EV though; I tend to eyeball these things. I wouldn't call with AJo either, but I think given the above you could make a case for AQ or maybe even AJs? These could be hugely -$EV too without me realizing it, but I think AJs is where I would start pondering a call.
