Default Re: Crying call?

I called, but after losing to a boat I wondered if calling was correct. On the river I'm getting 11:1 on a call, and the only logical hand that he would raise here that I beat would be the Qs, and even that would be pretty thin on his part. The problem is, does he even have the Qs and be willing to raise it 1 out of 12 times?

Thinking that you should fold this is a horribly results-oriented question. There is no question that you should at least call here.

Don't fall in love with this "I can make the big laydown" idea in LLHE. It will cost you a few big pots at the very least. Also, when players see you make folds like this, they get really tricky on the river thinking you'll fold to any scare card. For one more bet to win eleven, you have to call with the top flush against one player.
