Percentage Call - Poker (gambling)


A call made by a player in a situation in which he is a decided underdog, because he is getting better (usually substantially better) than a 1-to-1 return on his investment. For example, in hold ' em a player may call a small bet when holding only a high card when it is very likely that the bettor has at least a pair, because that bet represents only a small fraction of the amount of money currently in the pot.
