Absolutely EVERYONE will call in a multiway pot but not heads-up, regardless of stack sizes, position, etc. It happens so much that I have begun to think it must somehow be right. But it's not, right? Having one extra caller matters so little, right? Am I going crazy?!
Actually one of the funniest things i hear all the time at my local game is the opposite. cracks me up every time. Example Hand:
I have KK on the button, guy limps early position, folds to me after that, i make it 12, sb calls, bb calls, utg folds. Hand plays out and my KK wins a 60$ pot, as soon as its over UTG goes "damnit all i folded 33, woulda made a set" and when asked why he didnt call, there are at least 10 guys at the local card room who consistantly say
"Well if it was just you i wouldve, but i dont wanna play against 4 ppl with pocket 3s"
