Great calls are usually terrible calls that got lucky.

JustinA do you believe that to be 100% accurate? When one reaches down inside and they just know that their opposition has nada, and they make the call it does wonders to the whole metagame value. I have owned people because of a sick call I have made. I.M.O layne is the best in the world at this right now. He makes calls short handed and heads up, that knock the other player towards tilting.

Exactly. You see alot of dumb calls that "get lucky" but the thing that separates a great call from a dumb one is the sound logic behind the call, not just a vague random feeling I *might* be ahead. Making tough calls is a great way to psychologically get to your opponent.
The big downside in making these A hi calls is that while your read might be essentially correct and the opponent is trying to push u off the pot, you might still lose the hand to his 22 or whatever. Thats why you have to think carefully when you read opponent to be weak. Is my A hi really good enough or should I raise.
