Calling would be a stronger play in a way. The All-in is intended to shut out the rest of the field.

This really comes down to there not being a whole lot of automatic plays in NLHE. A lot of people come here looking for them, but they're getting smoke blown up their ass if someone offers one. You got to figure how the game is playing, what the board looks like, what the other guy is like and figure if this is your spot to play a big one. That's the only rational way I can figure this game.
