because I know villain is a drunk and will call off with much worse. Villain has shown a tendency to make poorly calculated 'spite' calls in the past. Pretty sure that's reason enough
Of course! And I am (& was) happy. Why have you assumed otherwise?
The question was, "Who makes this call here?" (very few answered the question). Perhaps I should've added in some more info. in my initial post.
Seems you have the information wrong from the HH. Why is that not surprising?
Well thought out - - fantastic response! (it does answer a question I often have in these games... "What are they thinking? .... Are they thinking?")
I'm of the school of thought where when I'm playing a game for whatever stake it might be, I'm looking to make optimal play. Sometimes that's as easy as making a simple equity calculation and then hitting fold vs. call (or vice versa). I didn't realize others were using different criteria (well aside form the 'patterns' believers and the 'had a feeling' types).
