If Nick had told us all ahead of time, "you will lose, you don't even have a chance, seriously, i've tried this out and I know it" no one would play.

wtf? when your opponent pushes all-in on the river and you're contemplating a call, if he has the nuts do you expect him to tell you, "you will lose, you don't even have a chance, seriously"? and if he doesn't tell you that, is he scamming you? wtf dude

Huh???? You make that call because you know some % of the time you will win when you call. You are gambling in the sense that he MAY have the nuts, but as long as you accurately predict that %, you are making a good play, even if he happens to have the nuts.
