Unless you're killing a short stack, to call knowing you are behind is a low percentage and stupid move.
IOW you're playing at a statiscally signifigant disadvantage.
As a former prop it used to sicken me to see the same lousy players win night after night, luck happens, and believe it or not some people are simply blessed with it.

BS. You guys have no idea what the pot size was and how much he had to put in for the call. What if he's getting 8-1 odds on the call and a chance to eliminate a player?
LOL, I drafted my post before I read the last few including Fish's on the chance of the worst hand winning.
Plus, you are ONLY seeing the hands that Greg plays against another player...............there are hundreds you don't even see that he makes great decisions on such as one he steals blinds with nada, folding crucial hands, etc., etc.
If the game is as much luck as some of you make it out to be, I would STRONGLY suggest you enter every event at the WSOP next year as well as every WPT event.........because each and every individual torunament is a huge overlay considering the endorsements that come to the victors on top of the prize money.
Plus, you will have alot of fun.............all the time playing a HUGE OVERLAY.

ps- The GN only has marginal video poker and one would have to put in alot of hours to show a profit there............only played sparingly there last year and got drilled for over $1,000....................but I did pick-up some extra nights comped rooms for this vacation and $200 in free slot play.
