if you know that you are beaten you should fold and not call because then you can play exploitble.

you should make the call if you don't know anything but you don't want to be exploitable.

if you know about a weakness of your opponent you have to play exploitive... if you don't know if he adapted or not, you should play optimal.

this is easy said, but nash equilibriums in no limit poker are very very hard do calculate because its a sequential set of multiple desicions (multiple streets, different betsizes and so on)

this is why game theory and nash equilibriums don't have much meaning in poker in practice because you'd have to calculate it over multiple streets and the betsize varies the optimum heavily...

the closest you can get is that you should bluff a certain amount of percentage which is a common concept. but this is in relation to villains range, and because villains range is not optimal and yours is not because of previous streets it gets exploitable and you will play exploitable and not optimal...

the sentence "still call even though you know you are beat more than the pot odds allow" doesnt make sence in an gametheoretic framework, because if you allready know there is no reason for not playing exploitable. this is a common missunderstanding...
