lol - so if you think you are ahead you should always raise??
hmm lets fold out all hands we beat and only get called when we are crushed, winning formula

with my way you. . ..
1. bet when ahead. . . .
2. lose yourself less if you are wrong and are behind, because you have position for any river action.
3.take control, and take down a lot of pots uncontested. . .
oh well, at least you"re way you get to show the table how you are a station who will pay them off.... wp

so players can continuation bet you to death then, unless you have top pair???
Swinebag:
i thought it was a great play from chris. Its true that hero calls always look fishy but he went with his read, and it payed off this time.
It seems that it is a case of percentages (i.e. how often will I be ahead against this player) rather than just a plain old am I winning or not. Looking back through the hand there is evidence to read it as a possible bluff. I dont think I could have called down three barrels there though myself, so I take my hat off to you Chris.
As an aside, I think all good "hero call" threads should have some posts where people get it wrong and are calling down an oppo value betting the nuts. Lets balance it up on this thread, please?
Also, I cant agree with comments about the size of the buyin meaning you cant have hero calls. A hero call is a hero call at any level as long as you are playing within your bankroll. Hero calls with scared money defy belief IMO
