I agree with you when you say that in the hand of yours I pointed out, the EV was very slim. However, given your typical fold equity in these situations combined with the fact that your hand may actually be best, this is a great way to play in that situation. People on these forums are willing to cap a 3-way flop on a flush draw holding only slim a 2% equity edge. People here tout a 4 BB/100 win rate as spectacular, but if you compare 0.04 BB per hand to the amount of money you have to put in to win that much, that is a very slim edge indeed. Poker, (limit cash games, at least) is a game of slim edges until you've found a way to get AA every hand. The more slim edges you can exploit, the more successful your poker is going to be. I'm touting six max play here because of how frequently profitable marginal situations like yours come up. If you feel you're missing out, giving up, or misplaying some marginal situations, that's fine. I screw marginal situations up all the time. That's what I'm doing here: reading up and figuring out more of them. Running away from (folding) marginal situations, though, is only going to hold you back as you move up in limits where the big, easy situations don't pay off as well.

Great response, and I hope you don't mind my picking on that hand of yours. Now, to go and actually work on my game. It sure needs it.
