While lying awake in bed for a few hours, I was thinking of this situation. If you had AQ in the big blind, and someone raised (limit), and you knew they had you dominated with AK (It can be other types of dominated hands as well), and everyone folded around to you, would you call? You are getting 7:2 or 3.5:1 on the call and are only a 3:1 underdog.
I think the answer is that you should call if there will be no more betting since pot odds dicate a call, but since that rarely happens, you should fold since having to call a flop and turn bet would make your pot odds 5:3.5 or put more simply, less than 2:1.
Sorry if some of this doesn't make sense or if I'm just babbling. It's really late and I can't fall asleep. Just had to get some of my rambling poker thoughts out.
