[QUOTE="ChuckTs, post: 392851, member: 467"]
sorry actually that was the wrong article
the one i'm thinking of is one with Jesus Ferguson - gimme 2 minutes and i'll find it
it talks about calls being a great play for trapping, and also for deception with weaker hands...anyways you'll see what i mean

as for being pot-committed, i think it involves factoring in how sure you are (in %) that you have the best hand, and using pot-odds for the opponent's bet to determine whether or not you should call.  
When you have say 500 chips in the pot, and someone pushes for 100 more then you're getting 6:1 on your hand - if you're 
more than %20 sure that you have the best hand, then you can call
i dunno i'm still a newbie with all the math behind poker, but i think that being pot-committed has somethin to do with that
Though, Mike Caro, the 'best researcher and theorist' of poker, says that you should [I]never[/I] consider what you have already invested in a pot when making a decision later in a hand...so obviously he doesn't think being pot-committed is a good reason to call bets in poker.
