Re: Hank Azaria laying down KK.....should I be impressed?

I don't know anything about the hand, but say I have 10k stack and get 6k+ in with KK, and I'm put all in, I'm not folding for my last 4k even if he flips up his AA. He's getting correct odds even if the op has the ONLY hand that beats him. As someone said before, I bet at least 10% of the time he doesn't have aces, and it is THAT point that makes the call manditory.
I'll love to see your longterm winnings if you continually fold in pots getting good odds even though you think you might not have the best hand...

I agree with you 100%. There are many times I feel confident that I'm beat but the odds say call and I do.
I'm only saying there have been times where I know I'm smoked. But I have odds to call, and I fold. Now usually that thought only pops in my head if my tournament life is at stake. If I have a decent stack I'll call with 2-7os if I have the odds and put my opponent on AK suited.
To me there's sometimes when you need to know the math but not go with it. I am NOT a pro. Maybe playing like that I'd never be one.
There have been times I've folded and people were like WTF no matter what you had you should have called, and I come back to win the whole thing.
I've also been a chip leader by more than 2x what the next chip leader had with 15 left and not made the final table.
