you lose 'just' $64 on average. A lot of money yes, but not that much when looking at the potential reward.

I know Dave D highlighted this but it is so bad that I had to give it another mention.

I think that what he was talking about was that in what turned out to be just about the worst case, you will still only expect to lose ~64. However, when you are in the "best case" scenario, you will expect to make much more than that.

I think his comment was fine, just perhaps written poorly.

PS Given the possible range of hands, I'd guesstimate that the call was very slightly -EV.

Yes Jim, maybe you're right. After reading your comment, I realize that I may have been a little harsh (sorry Rolf !). If that was his point, then I just didn’t get it the first time.
