Talk about taking a stab in the dark! It takes heroism to consistently call your opponent’s bet with just King high, especially when it’s pretty likely you’re drawing dead. Watch this example of great poker as Maxim Lykov makes a hero call against fellow Russian Vitaly Tolokonnikov at the European Poker Tour (EPT).

what a dumb calling station…nice shirt bra…..
Bet pre-flop could represent an A … and the CB should make LYKOV fold. He could be drawing dead from the beginning. A raise on turn followed by a call from his opponent could justify a call on the river … but not call/call/call. The only good explanation is that they know each other very very well … and even then … is very hard to call there.
Even so, lucky-crazy-marvelous calls.
