Both calls were read dependent and may realistically be bad in the long run, but oh well. =)

What's the lowest you've called with and been good? Or been horrendously bad?

I once won a 25 BB pot with ten high and the hand did go to showdown. I had OESFD and villain had baby FD and was a superbluffing tilt monkey. No one's draws came in.

I have looked and looked for the HH but could never locate it.

Hand one is a good call and somewhat standard, hand two is nice. Ive called down with J hi quite a few times and almost always been good, which suggests I should do it more. Dont think ive called down with ten hi yet, but hope to soon.

Called down with 87o once live. Guy was holding his cards over the table shuffling them and I could see he was holding 23s trying to bluff. Board was A469J. That was a pretty solid read through.

for real, if you know your 10 high is good, why would you not raise??

Im not sure this is right. I can think of situations where you would be right to call w Ten hi and raising would be def be wrong.
