The point is that by the time you raise, the odds youre now getting justify a call vs his range. He will do this with hands we beat often enough to justify a call with the pot odds we are being offered.

I guess the problem I have here is blowing 1/3 of my stack knowing I'm beat in this situation. I understand the pot odds issue, but why call if we are 90% certain we're beat? The typical response I see in many post similar to this one is, "I call, but I don't like it." If you don't like the call, why do it? Isn't it more prudent to save the extra money? I'm not a nit by any means, although you wouldn't know it by this post. I'm just trying to figure out why we call if we're beat.

You call because you are not always beat and more importantly your odds justify the call.

Try this:

You have $105 in your stack. You cap your KK with a $5 chip and open shove $100 into the pot. It folds around to the player on your right who shoves his stack of $105 into the middle and then accidentally exposes his AA.

Do you call the extra $5 knowing that you are beat?
