    fold pre...and check this flop. you say he's shoved a lot, therefore leading this flop does absolutely nothing. you just turned your hand into complete air, obv folding to this shove

    I called strictly because of the pot odds but I guess that's wrong.

    contrary to what people think, "pot odds" does not mean call with any two cards all of the time if there's any money in the pot at all.
