yeah makes no sense, esp. with your K2 post

It does seem high. As I said, I'll have to double check.

What's interesting to me in this thread is the fact that as almost always I've provided a fairly detailed read on my opponent and yet no one seems to be interested in factoring that into their appraisal.

Everyone always asks for reads but then don't seem to take them into account. As if the game, especially SH, is just a mechanical excercise and departing from those mechanical rules is -EV. My experience strongly suggests this is not the case.

That said, I call down with a lot VERY marginal hands when I think my reads suggest it is profitable or for meta-game/image reasons.

Edit; added below.

It's one of the reasons I've found posting hands in the mid-stakes forum to be much less helpful than it was to me in the small stakes forum. Reads/hand reading becomes so much more important to success and there is little appreciation for it in my experience.

Enough bitching.
