Default Re: $55 - Talk to me about this villain\'s call.

I believe caller knows the pusher is going to be pushing two face cards here, or a low to mid pocket taking the risk theres no monster. He's at a coin flip to 77 or less, or a 60/40 to the two overs and getting around the odds he needs for this.

Im probably completely wrong and its something simple like "but....its sooooted" [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

On the flip side, if the opponent is pushing a range tighter than any two, I can't see how this is much better than marginally + chip EV, if that. Maybe the goal is to send out the message "Don't push on my BB," which might have some value. Whether people perceive such "fishiness" to also mean they should call you more when you push, though, I'm not sure, so the metagame angle is unclear to me. I'm not wild about the call.
