Default Calling based on username of villain!

The name of the villain had me believe he was a regular at these forums, so i figured he would be pushing any two in this spot not knowing i knew he was pushing any two. So i called. Would you?

Seat 2 is the button
Total number of players : 4
Seat 3: hollabwaha ( $630 )
Seat 8: robcam11 ( $660 )
Seat 7: HERO ( $1880 )
Seat 2: tyterrell ( $4830 )
Trny:13904410 Level:5
Blinds(75/150)
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to HERO [ 2h Kh ]
robcam11 folds.
tyterrell folds.
hollabwaha is all-In [555]
HERO calls [480].
** Dealing Flop ** [ 6h, 2d, 7h ]
** Dealing Turn ** [ Qh ]
** Dealing River ** [ Ad ]
hollabwaha shows [ 6s, 2s ] two pairs, sixes and twos.
HERO shows [ 2h, Kh ] a flush, king high.
HERO wins 1260 chips from the main pot with a flush, king high.
hollabwaha finished in fourth place.

You're getting about 1.7:1, and given your read you probably have the advantage, but not by a lot. If you call and lose you fall to 1220, with still enough chips to get ITM, but you are no longer comfortable now that you are basically even in chips with the aggressive blind thief to your right and the big stack to your left. If you call and win, you jump to 2540, you have knocked out an aggressive player and guaranteed cash with a good shot at first.

I think I would probably call, but I think it's close.

I know that but you have to factor in the chance that he holds a hand that beats K2 and the chance that he he holds a hand that beats say, KT. He may or may NOT be pushing any 2, lots of percentages to crunch here.

The only user info I've been using as a read is location: If a person is from any city in Texas, his or her raises mean less to me.

I'm kidding.

Kind of

yeeee-hawww!

This is a clear call regardless of reads. I guess if you read them to be unbeleivably tight you can fold, but okay its really impossible to get such a read with any accuracy. I would never fold here.

sorry, misread the HH... meant you fall to 1250 or jump to 2420... with about 1.6:1

are you serious??? the only way i can see that happening is if you can say that he is pushing with any two here, which at the 22s, is quite difficult, regardless of whether or not the villain is a 2+2er.

I can see never folding this in a 200+15, but what about when playing the 10's-30's against a random opponent?
