This doesn't make it a call. Let's say you chop 50%, win 10%, lose 40%
EV = (.5)(+155) + (.1)(+ 910) + (.4)(-600) = -71.50
If we assume frequencies of chop 60%, win 10%, lose 30%, EV is +4, so it doesn't take much tinkering to make it a profitable call, but the high probability of chopping changes the EV calculation compared to a situation where you are highly likely (or guaranteed) to win or lose the entire pot.
