You have impressed the fuck out of me, as I'm sure others are dazzled as well. Also I wouldn't be giving out such valuable information for free.. It's because of you, and your high level of thinking, that the poker games are getting immensely tougher.. Please to be coaching me.
roflmao, wtf, r u serious?!?! my reply really tilted u that bad? I mean, OP asked if he shud call, and I replied...
Sadly, it actually did tilt me bad enough to write that post. And while your response is still absolutely horrible whether you were answering the one (of many) questions OP asked, your not the only individual guilty of it (as kb said).

The thing is, OP wouldn't have posted this hand if there wasn't some sort of reasoning behind why he wasn't sure if he should call or if he played the hand correctly.. Therefore, answering with a standard "yes/no, raise/fold/call" answer isn't going to do shit for OP except ensure that he may, or may not, have been correct in this given instance. Answers such as those aren't going to change OP's way of thinking, and when he is presented again with a similar situation he won't have the means to come to the correct conclusion.

However, if you reply with information such as, possible ranges for villain, our equity, our needed equity given pot odds, other things to consider, then OP can start to pick up on the questions and factors that must be considered and weighed in certain situations, and from that he can begin to make his own conclusions. You know the old saying "Give a man a fish, he eats for a day... Teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime"? Well you gave him a fish... We need to teach him to fish, and by doing so, we will also improve along the way.
