Re: Good result-orienting.
There is NO magic % number.
It doesn't matter if its 2% or 90% """IF""" you don't compare it to you risk versus reward ratio.
Here's an question for you:-
Both scenarios- you will be all if you make the call- ie no more bets will be made. There is only one card to come.
Scenario 1:
You have a 2.2% chance of winning the hand. The pot including my bet is 46 bets. You need to call 1 bet.
Scenario 2:
You have a 30.4% chance of winning the hand. The pot including my bet is 2 bets. You need to call 1 bet.
So in (1) you have a 2.2% chance, in (2) you have a 30.4% chance.
You have pick either scenario (1) or (2). Whichever you pick, we will play the with the same odds, a million times. Which one do you want to play?
Surely you'll pick (2) because you have a MUCH better chance of winning????????
Your (ie anyone's) understanding of this question and the correct answer is the fudamental basis of winning poker (or the long term gain from any gambling activity for that matter)
