If I limped with 33 or 77, I certainly would call there with implied odds and position on your big hand (lets figure that you don't raise often enough OOP and tend to blast away expecting piss poor opponents that look you up with weak hands.) Effective odds are easy, the money I figure to make comes out of the pot. Well, with implied odds, I'm certainly not getting the best of the money in the pot. Poker is a negative sum game, so the money paying off my positive expectation has to come from somewhere, gee I wonder where...

...or in other words, try to avoid being the pay-off bitch.

Which brings us back to the question, how much is your hand worth?
