Just curious that if statistically the right play is to call but you are almost certain you will lose the hand, do u still call? And why?

If you are going to lose to lose the hand then the statistically right play is to fold.

Are you talking about a draw with pot odds situation or something else?
Could you maybe clarify with an example? |

If you're 90% certain you're going to lose the hand, but there's 12 bb in the pot, then it's right to call.
Is that what you mean? |

what he means is if you have ESP and you know you will lose the hand even tho the odds favor you. should you call anyway..
A- no take up sport betting or stock market trading.. |

The statistically right play is to call when you are statistically right to do so.
Otherwise don't. ... I really do not understand this question... I mean, you can be 95% to lose a million dollar pot but if it only costs you a dollar to take a shot you'd be a fool to fold, even though you're likely to lose. Likewise, you'd be a fool to pay 1 billion dollars to take a shot at a million dollar pot, even if you're 95% to win. Pick up a copy of Smalls Stakes Hold 'Em or Theory of Poker or something and read the section on pot odds (and implied odds). |

This reminds me of the Billionth Hand contest that Stars was running a few months back. Fifty grand to the winner of the hand. Table was 1/2NL I think. After they knew they were the Billionth Hand, knowing $50,000 was in the pot for the winner, 2 people STILL folded out. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]
