Calling with crap because the price is right.

[crystalallen]

I'm trying to understand this concept but sometimes it's hard because the hands are so bad. I don't like to put my chips out there unless I'm sure they're coming back to me.

Are these easy calls? Also, is there any amount you can bet to get someone off a flush draw on the flop? I overbet the pot ... I put them all in, they still call. And hit.

Here are some examples:
