Should read, it shouldn't influence you to make another call. But I disagree with the authors and agree with Tony. Beyond the just the math, nothing upset a player more then making what he/she believes was a bad fold. and that could really influence the player the rest of the game. As long as the bet isn't too big it's not a bad idea to call. -- 2004 - The year $184M couldn't buy a pennant.
