it is funny how when people say "easy call" or "easy fold"

it rarely is.

ex: on two plus two, first level of a 500FPP game, guy raises to 80 with QQ, next guy pushes, 1420 for QQ to call.

Most of the comments say - easy call.

Well, you are either about 55-60% to win, or 60% or worse to lose depending on the player - not easy to me.

easier fold than call to me, it would really depend on the player, but in a standard tournament format, I would think "fold"

Turbo - "call"

Someone reposted this on PokerPages.

They couldn't understand how the Harrington hand with KJ could a call, but this not an easy call......

1.6:1 on your money agianst a complete jackass vs 1.1:1 on your money vs a complete unknown......
