Do you call when you know your beat for information . At the tables people ask me why I do it or laugh at my play when I do it .
I think knowledge of your opponents is most important part of the game at the level I play. $1/2 $2/5 no limit or $5 to $20 MTT . So if I have a big chip stack and my opponent bets small I will quite often call even if I'm 90% sure he has me beat just to see what he's got when he's betting like this .I don't do it if I've got a good read on him if he's been at my table all day . I do if it's a new player or if it's a new play by a existing player . I find the info can be quite valuable in the future when he makes the same play . For instance if he does it on air or a week hand you can push him later . if he does it to just get a few chips on a monster you know it's ok to fold .
Any thoughts on this
