RE; Foxwoods 5/5 story
From your apparent disdain for "Middle-aged" guys, I'm going to assume you're an unmarried twenty-something. The Foxwoods story actually illustrates a case where it could be +EV to fold the aces. (No, I wouldn't do it, but here's my take on what that guy was probably thinking).
He's there with his wife so let's say poker is not his "career". He and his wife can leave Foxwoods up 7 grand which is incredible +EV for a married guy, giving him an excellent chance of coming back in the future, or he can play one more hand and risk it, double-or-nothing on a near coin flip. Talking his wife into another trip to FW after losing it all won't be so easy.
