just thought i should point out that the fact that villain's range is strong and that it's multiway make for a BETTER argument to call here because we should only be playing this hand for implied odds.

also i wouldn't adjust villain's range to his position unless A) we have a read on him, B) his ATS is much higher than his PFR or C) he seems like a half-thinking opponent (running 20/15 or something).

i still agree that we shouldn't call, though.
