amazingly simple concept that I keep thinking about:

to paraphrase from there, they point you should always bet 600 in this scenario rather than 550 since 600 will almost never be called less than half as often.

I tend to think of the whole call as a mistake rather than just focusing on getting as much over the BE point as I can.
