Maybe it was a troll.

Sorry , I was in a silly mood yesterday. But I bet everyone has done it at
least once. You are pretty sure you are beat, but still call just in case,
or for the small satisfaction in knowing you were right.

We call them curiosity calls, or calling for information.

In limit, calling for information is occasionally enough to
turn a very marginal fold into a very marginal call. That's
the case less often in nolimit though, since the ratio of bet
size to pot size is often quite different.
